"People ask me, 'Why don't you get married?', and I tell them, 'I am married!' They say, 'You are?! When did you get married?', and I say 'I've been married since I was five years old! I'm married to the trains.'" -- somebody I met on the Amtrak Coast Starlight Express
I love the Coast Starlight, especially when it's late -- which it always is. When traveling north, you wake up somewhere in southern Oregon, and the later the train is, the more of that dramatic countryside you get to take in. Last time I was lucky -- the train was over four hours late, and I woke up in northern California!
I just wish the Coast Starlight had more electrical outlets.
