Good job BT……………. that tour of NY had you walking big time….. a lot of folks do not realize that walking NY City is a great way to get around …walk eat, walk eat, walk eat, walk eat……………. lol I see your riding the rail back to Tucson…. do they still call that train to Chicago the " Empire State Express"? and then on your way south you’ll be riding on a train they call the "City of New Orleans" ..sounds like the words to a great song…………… Happy Trails BT

Paul, the New York to Chicago train is "The Lake Shore Limited". The train from Chicago to LA via Tucson is "The Texas Eagle"–goes a bit west of the "City of New Orleans". Actually, shortly after we left Chicago I fired up iTunes on my laptop and the first song that played was Arlo’s "City of New Orleans". We were passing through Joliet, not Kankakee, and ultimately, St. Louis, not Memphis and San Antonio, not New Orleans. But I’ve ridden the City of New Orleans before and hope to again.
