1950 or 1951. From N.Y. to Miami. I was 14 and travelled alone.

October of last year, I went from Detroit Lakes, MN to Chicago, IL. I take coach and sleep very well in the large reclining chairs with foot rests. This October I'm going drom Detroit Lake to Toronto via Amtrak. Love taking the train!

July of this year, returning from Chicago to Sacramento. Earlier the same year I took a trip from Sacramento to Portland, also an overnight trip (but just one as opposed to two on the California Zephyr to Chicago.)

I took a nap on the Capitol Corridor train from San Francisco to Sacramento but perhaps that doesn't count...

When was the last time you slept overnight on a passenger train and where were you going?
My last trip was Montreal to Halifax in the 1960s.
