Traveling on AMTRAK

[left-of-center2012]

15. I enjoyed my Amtrak trip

In years past I've gone across the USA several times on the train and enjoyed it very much, except for the long layovers in Chicago. (But I found a McDonald's in the station which was much cheaper than the high priced eateries)

Two years ago I did a round trip Albuquerque, NM to San Diego, CA via L.A. (That's how it connects)
The only time I encountered security was in the Albuquerque station when they checked everyone to see who had a ticket and who might be there to get in from the cold. (It was winter).

I had reserved ground level seats going and coming (being a senior with walking problems), and enjoyed everything about the trip. I was especially surprised at how clean the rest rooms were.
