Great pictures!

I rode #5 from Denver to San Francisco last January.  It was a great trip.  The winter scenery is great.  In fact, I liked the trip so much that I rode #6 from Emeryville to Denver last week.  It was an equally great trip. 

The Superliners are showing their age, but everything in my roomette on #6 worked well.  Moreover, the meals in the dinning car have improved dramatically.  Amongst other things I had two Maryland crab cakes.  Frankly, I was doubtful about them, but I thought that I would give them a go.  They were delicious.

Good to hear the Maryland crab cakes are still good.  The food we got on the train was good also and we plan on riding over the Hill to Reno and back when we get a chance.

 This is # 6 stopping in Truckee on the 27th of February.
