We are thinking about our next Amtrak trip (absolutely fantastic and well worth the effort and money!). Last spring we went to NYC from SEA return on the EB and the LSL. Last autumn we went from LAX to SEA on the CS(a terrific trip but too short, Vandenburg AFB was a treat). We want to go back to Chicago but, since we’ve done the EB, we’d like to depart from California but are undecided as to the route(s) to take.
Our choices are (as far as we know): LAX to New Orleans, with a lay over, then to CHI via the CNO and returning via either the CZ or the SWC.
We could switch it up and return via the CNO/SSL but do the other routes have anything over the other that would help us make the decision for us (direction of travel, stops/vistas on the way, time of day, etc., etc.
Your advice on our choices would be greatly appreciated
