Viewing Album:  Sea to Shining Sea By Rail Tour
 
By:Jonathan Hinely
Dates:2/24/2018 - 2/24/2018
Album Info:Join me for a journey across the amber waves of grain, to the heights of Colorado Rocky Mountain High, before finishing up in purples mountains majesty in California. I had a job interview in Portland, OR so I figured the best way to get there would be to ride the train. So I bought a ticket on the Lake Shore Limited and the Empire Builder to do a cross country trip. As it turned out there was a blizzard in Montana so Amtrak rerouted me to the California Zephyr. It was a lovely trip. Enjoy my photos.

Description:  My bus from Laguardia dropped me off at 125th street. So instead of taking the brand new but slow 2nd Avenue subway I would take Metro North to Grand Central. Here is a photo of a northbound Hudson line train.
