I took the california zephyr after 2 harsh years (professionally); from Chicago to SF.

So many inner demons were vanquished on that trip. That train route is truly a love-letter to America - the Colorado river, the Sierra Nevada, beautiful life-changing stuff.

Jesus, now that is a great line! You should write more poetry, or just more in general.

That sounds beautifully scenic. What time of year would you recommend for it?

Seat61 has been an amazing resource for traveling the world by train. Until you just mentioned it in this context, I had never thought to use it for beta about train travel in the USA. Looks like I know what I'm reading the rest of the day.
