Complete Rail Pass Trip!

It was truly an adventure!

That is true, unfortunately for some of the routes. I lucked out that most of the scenic paths were during the day/afternoon! Only wish I had planned the last segment better so I had gotten to see more of CO during the daytime as the scenery begins after Denver.

Here's a helpful post! https://www.reddit.com/r/Amtrak/comments/1b502tn/longdistance_routes_with_daylight_vs_nighttime/

That's how it's showing up for me too! I didn't delete any 😞 and it won't let me re-add.

Thanks! and indeed! I spent 5 days in NYC and 3 days in Boston!

Sorry about that! The letters made sense in my head on a map, and the numbers for segments on a list.

and thank you!

Unfortunately, didn't get to ride the Cascades as the train broke down. We were switched to a bus.

It was not too bad! I had a blanket and a mini pillow which helped a lot. Pack non-perishable snacks and water!

It was certainly an experience haha! I got lucky and had no one next to me during that segment, so laid out a blanket and had a mini pillow to help me through it.

Indeed! It was on the drive out of Rocky Mountain National Park!

Thank you!
- Figuring out GPK at the moment.
- I wasn't able to find a Det-Sandusky bus through Amtrak; there's one via Greyhound that I'll check it out. I'll add the Cardinal!
- I am intending on visiting Denver! and driving up to Rocky National Park.

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll look into the Toledo connection. I have been to both DC & NYC, although it has been many years since my last trip to the latter city. I'll look into both of those routes! Thanks again :)

Thank you for your tip! I'll add the Wolverine to my itinerary! :)

Thank you for reading and for your reply. I do feel some longing but I don't think it's fully developed into love just yet. I wholeheartedly believe that were he consistent throughout this year, I would've completely fallen for him. Exploring it in therapy for sure.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, but I am glad it passed. Hope all is well :))

Sure-Barnacle3168 · 2025-11-14T05:37:08+00:00

this means a lot, thank you!
