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.
