Gas prices are taking the fun out of trips, As an alternative I was thinking of a train trip---Sacramento to Glenwood Springs on the Zephyr, Sacramento to Bellingham on the Coast Starlight, then ferry to BC, or LA to Albuqurque(izat how its speld?) on the Chief. Plenty of picture taking opportunities along the way, but I was wondering about other routes like the Lakeshore Ltd, City of New Orleans, Empire Builder, Surfliner,Vermonter and Texas Star? What about VIA RailCanada routes? Perhaps theres a train not too far from you that'll take you off to unexplored areas while the family SUV rests its tires in the garage?
What train would you take your view camera aboard, and for the sake of other vacation hunters reading this, why?
