Three nights aboard Amtrak’s Texas Eagle train (1/2)

▶︎ Watch Part 2 →    • Texas to LA on America’s longest trai...  
Amtrak's Texas Eagle is the longest passenger train in the United States, and the second-longest in all of the Americas. I rode it as far as possible, 2,700+ miles from Chicago to Los Angeles. The trip was scheduled to take 65 hours. The experience is one of the greatest travel adventures you can have in the US – three days and nights on a train pushing through the midwest farmlands, the vast fields of Texas, and the gorgeous landscapes of the American Southwest. I had a private roomette all to myself for the trip.

Part 1 covers the first two days, from Chicago to Austin, TX. Included are stops along the way such as Springfield and St. Louis; a tour of my roomette plus bathroom and shower facilities; and a deep dive into the food options of the Flexible Dining Menu. And, best of all, views through the window to America's vast landscapes.
