Wow! Excellent photos you have there. It’s really nice to go on a trip ‘coz aside from enjoying it with your buddies or just yourself , you can also took a lot of great spots. I’m also planning to go on a trip to California. Thanks for having me some glimpse through your posted pictures.

Thank you for your detailed post. I have fun reading it.

My report on the trip from Sacto town to SLC last year is posted at http://roundthechuckbox.blogspot.com/2005/04/our-train-trip-to-utah.html and http://roundthechuckbox.blogspot.com/2005/05/trip-home-on-amtrak.html.

I noticed a big difference in the quality of the dining crew going east and returning home. The westbound crew was much more professional and interacted with the passengers. We had a crew of “seating nazies” (in light of the soup nazi of Siefield!) on the eastbound crew.

My evaluation is that the whole crew follows the personnality of the dining car steward. Eastbound, they were too business-like. “Sit here.” “You can’t sit there!”

The westbound crew would sit down and talk to you and interact with you like you were a real person.
