The Train . . .

















For my trip home from Seattle I opted to take the Amtrak Coast Starlight.  The trip on the train takes about twenty two hours.  

I boarded the train in Seattle at 9:45 am on Thursday and arrived back in Oakland at 8:45 am the next day.  




















Because I had paid for a "Roomette" on the sleeper car, all my meals on the train were included.  Below are some pictures I took along the route home.

  3. was it so worth it? i think trains seem so cool, but am worried about them not actually being as cool in real-life.
