I travelled from Sacramento to Centralia Washington on Amtrak a few years ago in the summer.... it was quite the ordeal waiting around the station without A/C or pop machines or working water fountains (or status reports on the train) in the bad part of town all night for a train that was 6 hours late. But once I was on the train it was a good ride with spectacular scenery that is usually passed through at night, but we got to see the mountains in the daytime.

What is a 'pop machine??'
