AMTRAK CRESCENT

Boarded the Amtrak Crescent on St. Pat's Day in New York for trip down to new Orleans and beyond eventually driving to Houston and boarding a freighter to visit ports along Central and South American coasts for about twenty days.
Had dinner with manager of one of the Amtrak routes in the Midwest and discussed Amtrak and railroading. He was a fifth generation railroader and even gave me the secret to keeping the Amtrak Sunset Limited on time as it travels from Florida to LA.
