Hey everyone again, sorry for the lack of replies, signal decides when it wants to come around of course.
I haven't ate in the dining car, we've had each of our meals brought to us, but after walking around throughout the cars, I'm pretty sure I could sit in one, even with the cushions on them. As said I was surprised how much room I had, so either I've lost more weight than I thought, or I'm just not as big as I thought, could be a mixture of both.
We are on the Southwest Chief right now for our second day, but first full day. The ride has been spectacular, as was the Capitol Limited, but nothing compares to the scenery we've seen on this train. I believe we saw the Southeastern side of the Grand Canyon, as well as the Rockies off in the distance. Even if it wasn't them, it's been a beautiful ride.
The attendant on this train has been wonderful as well, but I must say the food is 100 times better than what we were given on the Capitol Limited (though their food wasn't terrible).
It's dark now so enjoying some time editing photos I've taken on the trip. I'll leave you all with this one from Chicago as we were approaching the station.
Happy New Year everyone!
