Well hello again everyone. I hope everyone's doing well. It has been too long.
After a taking an Amtrak hiatus of four months (a near record for me), I decided to buy a ticket for a my birthday next month. They have an amazing $36.60 one way price from NOL to CHI. That is just too good to pass up. I'm leaving NOL on 8/22, getting to CHI on the 23rd, then flying back home that night on American Airlines (a Boeing 777,always a good aircraft) as I have to work the next day.
This is nothing like my cross country adventure last year on the Zephyr, but it's all I had time for. Things have been crazy at work. I've been really neglecting Amtrak as of late. I'm trying to turn that around again.
So as usual, you can expect a trip report, and hopefully some pictures.
And if anyone knows how 58 has been running lately, I'd sure like to know. I'm assuming it's good as usual, but you never know.
Thanks again and happy railroading to all!
