I highly recommend riding the SW Chief. The wife and I just completed a trip from Galesburg Il to Flagstaff AZ (March 3-4) and return (March 14-15). From Flag, we rented a car and went on to Phoenix to catch some warm weather. The ride was really great and pretty much on time (I think we were 15 minutes late coming into Galesburg on the return trip). We experienced no engine failures enroute. However, westbound, early into our trip, the power kept cutting out in our car. But they got that fixed in La Plata Mo. The cool thing was the really cheap fares. Through Amtrak's Railsale, the two of us got round trip coach tickets for $260, total. Once on board, we asked about upgrading to sleeper which cost us $100 more and included free dinners in the Diner. Of course, the scenery over Raton and through New Mexico was great. We're ready to go again! <br /> <br />John
