Hello all. I'm likely the newest member and appreciate the chance to be involved. I look forward to meeting many of you.
I took my first Amtrak trip in decades a couple weeks ago traveling the Illini, Saluki and both directions on the Lakeshore Limited. Did coach on all and was a fun adventure for this old guy.
My first experience on rails was getting an occasional steam engine ride on the old Nickel Plate Road. My grandfather, Pete Hill, was an engineer back in the 40s, 50s and 60s as the railroad became a part of the Norfolk and Western. He ran between Cleveland and Buffalo so it was cool to ride the same rails and see the back of the house I lived in over 60 years ago.
Next upcoming trip is to DC. Checking business class and roomettes this time. I'm expecting a big difference from coach???
Thanks everyone!
