<p>I enjoyed reading about your trip from LA to Boston and back in a coach. </p> <p>It has been a long time since I rode coach class overnight in the U.S. The last time was more than 20 years ago. I was in a bit of an economy mode, so I booked a roomette on the Texas Eagle from Dallas to Chicago, but I opted for coach class on the Capitol Limited from Chicago to Washington. Big mistake! The train was crowded, and I found myself sitting next to a full figured woman who turned out to be a religious zealot. After an hour of attempted conversion therapy on her part, which did not take, I headed for the lounge car, where I camped for most of the night. </p> <p>I frequently take the Eagle from Temple, Texas to Dallas or Fort Worth. As noted in a previous post, I ride coach class, and most of the people that I have met are OK. But the few bad apples really make travelling in a coach over a long distance a trial. </p> <p>Again, thanks for the very interesting travelog. </p> <p> </p>
