Hello everyone, I'm from California's central valley. I've only ridden Amtrak a couple of times, once on a field trip in elementary school, and then again last summer on the Coast Starlight round trip to Seattle. The Coast Starlight in a roomette made me fall in love with train travel. I have a trip on the California Zephyr planned for late October from SAC to Chicago that I'm looking forward to. I plan to enjoy the rest of the Amtrak long distance routes in the future.
