A Train Odyssey 2, Part 1: AMTRAK Southwest Chief

This is my longest train video yet, at 3 hours duration. It is Part 1 of a three part Train Odyssey, from Chicago on the AMTRAK Southwest Chief to Los Angeles, then continuing on another video with the AMTRAK Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon, then concluding with the AMTRAK Empire Builder from Portland back to Chicago.

Length of this video is primarily because I took the trip close to the time of year when daylight hours are near their maximum, so there was more scenery visible compared to many of my trips that are in the Fall or in the Winter.

I edited my original video severely and it was a struggle to get in in the three hours you can see here.
