KC Ghost Rider
Service Attendant
My trip on the #3 Southwest Chief started at KCY and the beautiful Union Station. The train was on time and my day started with a special birthday Railroad French Toast (the LSA put a candle in it) with everyone in the diner singing happy birthday. So very nice! The ride was excellent as usual and lunch was served with only three items available plus desserts. I had the Angus Burger and dessert was cheesecake. yum. No complaints about the equipment or staff. Arrival into Chicago was on time.
My birthday meal was special as I ate at Lawry's and had the Prime Rib with the trimmings.The dessert pie was Banana-Coconut crème. This food is to die for!
The Drake Hotel was an excellent choice for the weekend and I will return for a visit on other special occasions. My return trip was smooth with #4 leaving CHI on time. The equipment was in good shape and the service great. I had the SCA show me the trick for the fastest possible make up of the lower bed and I went to sleep until dinner. Dinner was Steak, which was very good. The only thing unusual was TSA was aboard and asked my table mate to follow them. I never learned what came of that. Scary! After dinner, I went back to sleep and the train pulled into KCY a little early. An Excellent Trip!
