I took a rail trip to NOLA from NYC. I rode coach on the Lake Shore Limited (LSL?). Stayed overnight in Chicago. Bought some wine and snacks for the roomette ride on the City of New Orleans (CONO). Flew back home from NOLA.
I loved the experience of traveling long distance I'm planning on doing it again this year in May. This time, it's either from NYC to Dallas or from NOLA to NYC.
These are my options so far (assuming that the roomettes aren't sold out):
1. LSL to Chicago (arrives in Chicago at 9:45 pm). Stay overnight in Chicago. Texas Eagle (departs Chicago at 1:45 pm) to Dallas.
2. Cardinal to Chicago (arrives in Chicago at 10:05 am). Texas Eagle (departs Chicago at 1:45 pm) to Dallas on the same day.
or
3. Cresent from NOLA to NYC (planning to get a room)
4. CONO to Chicago (arrives 9 am). LSL to NYP (departing Chicago at 9:30 pm). Can stay overnight in Chicago.
So far I'm considering options 1 or 3. Opinions? Suggestions?
Thanks!
