amtrak coast starlight lax - pdx 12/21/09

This was my first train experience, and im officially a big fan. The price for holiday peak season was also incredibly reasonable (for coach) relative to flying. I think ill take the train as much as i can from now on. Here are some photos I snapped along the way.

This brings back de ja vu for me. I was on 11 departing sea on 12/22. Our trains passed on the 12/22. LOL. I have similar pics near PDX. Great minds think a like.

Great pictures! I rode the Coast Starlight LAX-PDX last October as my first long distance train trip. This brought back very fond memories so thank you!

Loved the pics! Rode on the CS back in 2006 but ran so late that the best views between EMY and LAX were after sundown . Want to plan a trip on CS in the future, maybe next year, too many others on the list for this year.
