Trip completed ... well almost!

Home again, home again, what a relief it is!! To sleep in a bed that does not rock and roll. Oh, that's is reference to the Amtrac Train ride. Actually, it went fairly well. The trip from Seattle to Chicago was a straight and solid 48 hours of travel. Our coach was in the middle of the configuration. Which meant that the coach was fairly controlled since it was connected to out cars. We arrived in Chicago 1 hour late than scheduled, mostly due to 2 EMT stops in the middle of nowhere. Rescue Squads met us along the tracks to take the unfortunate into the hospital. Then a freight train which was ahead of us hit some debri and did some damage to the engine. So we had to wait patiently for him to get repaired and move off the main track. We had extactly 1/2 hour in Chicago to find our next boarding. Speaking of chaois the terminal in Chicago would be a good definiation. This part of our trip was much rougher and difficult. We ended up with our coach being the last car in the configuration. Not a fun ride as you are the whip of the train. Anyway, we made it safely home ... 2 hours late. Now for the fun part of going through pics and all that stuff. It may take days!! Glad to be home.
