A train ride through the Rockies, that sounds absolutely wonderful.

AMTRAK doesn’t come through the south, so we haven’t used it. We looked into it a number of years ago, but it just wasn’t worth getting from here to the places it does go.

The City of New Orleans - check that one out ....
I learned it from one of our dining room table mates about it. Wonderful scenery - how close are you to it?

Yes, the lounge car (which is just windows for walls and even windows up over the walls with bench seats facing out) gets plenty crowded once we enter the mountains. The train goes back where there are no highways and that’s where we see so many bald eagles. One trip I took, there were stories of over 100 sightings from one of the trains. You would love it!
