I was on vacation from August 30th thru September 7th, 2010 and did a lot of train riding. The first part of the trip was from CHI-LAX on the Southwest Chief connecting in LAX with the Coast Starlight from LAX-SEA. That was the first four days of my trip... Monday, August 30th through Thursday, September 2nd. I met up with 3 members of the AUF Forum (who will remain nameless to protect their identites!!) on that leg of the trip.
Then on Friday, September 3rd it was a dreaded 5 hour flight from Seattle to Boston.
In Boston, I had my best friend from high school's wedding (I was the best man!) -- and also squeezed in 3 seperate Amtrak daytrips from Boston. That included a trip on the Downeaster to Old Orchard Beach, Maine on 9/4... a trip to Pittsfield, MA on the Lake Shore Limited on 9/6... and a AGR points run on Acela First Class down to Stamford, CT.
I like doing a photo trip report instead of a word trip report, so enjoy my 1000+ photos from the whole thing.
