Two Cities and a Huge Warehouse at Night . . .

Dear Friends,

On the train ride from Poughkeepsie, NY to Seattle, WA, during the night, I encountered two beautiful cities at night (Cleveland, OH and Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN.  In between these two cities, we passed Milwaukee WI where I encountered many huge warehouses (3 - 4 city blocks on each edge) the largest of which was an Amazon Distribution Center.  Also passed a huge Miller High Life beer plant there, too.

Met wonderful people on the train, including a best selling Western author and a rodeo champion.

Stopped briefly in Chicago, (Union Station) where they had a large food court (and lots of business - as I realized many people wait for hours for a train!  

Will not ride coach for three days again - that's a young person's gig, although I saw plenty of other seniors (many older than me!) riding coach for days at a time!

Didn't take pictures because it was pitch black.

Want to give you contact information for AMTRAK . . . 1-800-AMTRAK.  Can't say enough how great their staff were and that the train was so clean!

Yours truly,

Monica
