Training thru indiana
After boarding the train in Pittsburgh, about midnight, we spend a fairly restful night on the train. we were in the last car with all the riders going to Chicago, so we didn't hear all the stations and folks moving on and off the train.
Waking in Indiana was delightful. it was a bright shiny day with miles and miles of fields. eventually, every ride on the train takes you to the back yards and industrial sites. heading to chicago also takes us along Lake Michigan with all of the boat yards and hundreds and hundreds of private boats, many still in drydock, waiting for the weather to warm.
we have a 4 hour lay over here, and will probably wander around a bit, seeing the sights around the train station. This Station is rather cool, too. The old Great Hall Section is gigantic with pigeons flying around inside it. And what a place for people watching. a group of about 25-30 folks with Cubs T-shirts on. i'll bet there is a game today.
we start the last leg of the Amtrak jouney, another overnight on the train, and land in Salt Lake City late Sunday night.
