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
