Mon Oct 3, 6:00 pm: Southwest Chief

Leg 3: Los Angeles -> Chicago

Around 5:00 we started gathering to get ready to board the Southwest Chief. Once I got to my little roomette I swiftly got my train shoes on and got myself situated to be comfortable for the next 2 days.

One unusual thing about this trip, is that my room is not in a standard sleeper car, but in what they call a "transition sleeper car". This means there are both passenger cabins and crew cabins in this same car. We are the first car behind the engine.

We pulled out of Union station right on time at 5:55.Meer informatie
