The Amtrak people ON the Train were nice but equipment failure, frequent un-explained stops marred the trip. The Chicago train station was a Zoo with some not so pleasant animals at the healm. On the other hand I found lots to take pictures of - M6 with 35/2 (non-asph) loaded with Delta 3200. Some stops that were at trainstations were ok as I had time to get out and wander around a bit. Nothing like hurtling thru the heartland at sun up in the dinner car, drinking coffee and trying to wake up. ernie nitka My best advice to anyone considering medium to long distance travel with Amtrak is to be patient, have a sense of humor and give yourself more leeway time than you would with air travel regarding connection and arrival destinations. /Mitch _____________________________________ Mitch Zeissler E-mail: zeissler@directvinternet.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
