Enjoying The Train

We went and had breakfast in the dining car at 6:30. French toast all around. Shortly after, the train made a stop in Klamath Falls, Or. We got to get off and finally see our train. She is longer than what we are use to. It has an extra coach and sleeper. It also has what they call the Pacific Parlour Car. You can see it in the picture. Is is a lounge car for sleeper car passengers. These cars were originally built by the Santa Fe railroad back in the 50’s. This is the only train to have these since there are only four left with Amtrak.

We had an extended stop here because the police came out to take someone off the train. Not sure what was going on, but it took an extra 30 minutes. So we are looking to arrive in Portland around 4:00.

  1. The Pacific Parlour Car! Wow! I’ve never heard of that. Pretty cool! Any pictures of the inside of it? Have a fun great trip! Thinking of you and your family’s adventures!

  2. It was me. I was following you. The conductor asked what I was doing on the train and I acted a bit too suspicious.
