On my homepage everyone can see I have ridden Amtrak often lately during my vacations. My first ride was to Chicago, the end of track of the Texas Eagle. My second ride was to Los Angeles, the other end of track of the Texas Eagle/Sunset Limited. My third trip was a loop around the west going clockwise, riding the Coast Starlight and the Empire Builder. My fourth trip was a loop around the east going clockwise, riding the Three Rivers and Silver Meteor. My fifth trip I rode the California Zephyr. My sixth trip I rode the Capitol Limited. My seventh trip I rode the Southwest Chief and the Surfliner. Finally, my last trip I rode the Lake Shore Limited and Acela. I have seen by train every state west of the Mississippi River except South Dakota and Wyoming. I have flown to Hawaii before, and would love to take an Alaskan cruise. I have seen by train every state east of the Mississippi River except for Michigan, the New England states, Kentucky, and Tennessee. I have driven thru Tennessee and Kentucky before, and have ridden the Heartland Flyer to Oklahoma City. In fact, Amtrak has taken me to more states in the last few years than I have seen by driving. <br /> <br />Even my boss has become interested in a train ride. I showed him Amrak's web site, and showed him some fares to several different cities. His last plane trip wasn't a nice experience, sitting next to a person who should have purchased two seats. I think I have him convinced to go with a sleeper.....
