JUL 28, 13 .. I SEE THAT TRAIN A COMING .. RIDING AMTRAK TO CHICAGO .. PART I

Can you all see the train coming down the tracks in the far distance? Look for the headlight! A tiny-white-dot!

WOW HERE IT IS !

AMTRAK is a United States federally supported railroad system. It is an excellent experience to ride on AMTRAK!

On Friday, July 26th, Patti and I boarded the AMTRAK Railroad Train in Royal Oak Michigan and headed for Chicago Illinois as our three week trip came to a close. We enjoyed a very nice six hour trip on the train.

Here are some photos that we took during our trip to Chicago.

Can you see Patti in the distance walking away from me up the asile.

And speaking of Patti .. here she is enjoying the trip.

As you can see .. the coaches are very clean and pleasant and the trains are fully air-conditioned.

The below photo shows the 'business class' seating. For an additional cost you get a little more room.

The next three photos show the dining car and mini-restaurant facility. Patti and I enjoyed two absolutely EXCELLENT salads during our trip.

In the below photo you can see from the line of people waiting 'their turn' to purchase food and drinks that the dining car is very popular!

Below are three photographs of Chicago's Union Station.

Continue to 'scroll down' to the following post below to see Part II and some photographs of scenery along the trip.

JUL 28, 13 .. THE AMTRAK TRAIN FROM DETROIT TO CHICAGO .. PART II ..

In the above post I showed a number of photographs of the interior of the AMTRAK train. Below are some photographs showing some scenery and places of interest we saw during our trip.

I found this old railway station in Niles Michigan fascinating.

The city of Chicago has a major league baseball team named the Chicago White Sox. Their stadium is on the south side of the city and is right beside the AMTRAK train tracks. Below are several photographs of their Stadium as viewed from the train as we passed-it-by.

Some of you reading this post in India may be interested in some photographs I took from the train showing some of our local roads and highways here in the United States.

Below is a photograph of Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit Michigan. I don't see roads like this in India.

Below are photographs of two of our freeways.

Below are several photographs just-looking-out-of the train window.

Please continue to scroll down to see the final post of this trip to see a few photographs of the downtown section of Chicago.

JUL 28, 13 .. AMTRAK TO CHICAGO ILLINOIS .. PART III

This short post is by no means a comprehensive photo-shoot of Chicago Illinois .. one of the largest cities in the United States. Rather it consists of a few photos that I took in the area surrounding the downtown AMTRAK Union Station.

As we drove out-from downtown Chicago .. I snapped the below photo of an 'elderly' Church!

Well .. there-you-have-it .. three posts covering our train trip from Royal Oak (Detroit) Michigan to Chicago Illinois.

Smiles from Cap and from Patti ..
