<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe boarded the Texas Eagle and departed right on time. Right before the first station stop, a truck hit a bridge we go over so we had to stop and wait for a bridge inspector to come. So the trip started 2 hours and 15 minutes behind. Oh well. We are on a train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our first meal time on the Texas Eagle…<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had enough points to get us all in the larger bedrooms.
