I had the pleasure of playing a season here, during the summer, w/o AC. The iron gate, Pennywhistle Park sign is still there. Edited Tuesday at 04:16 PM1 day by Knoxtnhorn

I've done my time in places like Elkhart, Turpin and Syracuse, don't need to see that again. On the way back, it got dark just after the Raton Tunnel. Perfect timing. We did coach on the way down and I learned my lesson. We upgraded to a sleeper for the return and it was much better. Pretty sure we are going to book Chicago to Seattle next fall and see the Rockies. Probably fly home from Seattle. Washington and Oregon are the only states in the Lower 48 that I am missing from my been-there list. Get that done before I croak.

Beauty of it is that Western Kansas is in the dark both directions. Other than the odd departure time I'm looking forward to it. The Amtrak Cascades route from Seattle to Vancouver. The Portland route is shorter and a beautiful ride.
