Its been two weeks since I've been home and I would like to say it was one of the best trips I've ever taken. With all the delays and problems, some how I found a spot to be happy and feel free from all the stress of work and school just slip away.
When I was traveling back home, I found all the steel mill plants between Pittsburgh and Chicago amazing and somewhat interesting. Going across the United States by rail is something of a needed thing to do, you should only travel that way if you do not have somewhere to be and are required to be there by a certain time. The many many miles I traveled and the many people I came across made me proud of what and where I live. As I passed through the great rolling hills in Montana I was lucky to see the progress of the nation. Going from the sprawling nations capitol to the small rural towns in West Virginia gave me a view of how life is like for others outside of big cities. Now I know you are all expecting me to put the many countless photos I took, on my blog but I've been adding them to my Flickr account and would like to welcome you to view them there. Now, back to the real meaning of the blog, I would have to say that traveling in a sleeping car is somewhat of a must if you are traveling on a long distance Amtrak train. The roomette is small but is enough for one or two persons to travel in, being that I traveled alone it was the perfect size and was the perfect answer to my long long journey. I would have to give a big round of applause to all the Amtrak staff that was on board the trains I was traveling on, they made sure that the journey was relaxing and safe. I enjoyed every single moment of the trip even with all the delays and problems. The only thing that caught my interesting attention, was that my last train the Coast Starlight 14 was the only train on time and actually ahead of the scheduled arrival times.
