Amtrak

The Southern Chief runs from Chicago to LA every day.  I got on in Topeka at midnight Sunday morning and arrived in LA at 9 AM Monday morning.  It was clean and comfortable.  The lounge car is lined with windows on the sides and the top - a great way to watch the scenery roll by.  We stopped in Albequerque for about an hour "mechanical break".  I assume this means fuel, water, and provisions.  And they changed the crew.

The seats were way more comfortable than the economy seats on an airplane, but still they need to recline farther for good sleeping.
