Louis about 6:30 the conductor set closer to 7:30 they don't want to be eating dinner when we go through st. Louis see how the old route 66 there was such a narrow road there's the newer route 66 which here has opposing lanes looks like they're merging or not quite but the other side stops and there's the old route 66 now on the other side so I think the newer route 66 crossed over where the old 66 used to be a lot of places the old 66 is used as parking in industrial areas where the road goes through towns hi 55 is barely visible in the distance just in front of the tree line here at the station at normal Bloomington looks like a lot of students from the university getting on here they're gonna they just finished loading the first class cars and they have to move to train to align the coach cars with the station but no more cars 2021 about 21 over you bring it to the safe stuff for pills cleared out 21 pop off on the part until we're in the university town all the University type buildings tons of parking garage stopping at Lincoln Illinois pulling into Springfield we've got the shade pull against the Sun coming right in my eyes otherwise [Music] [Music] it's protein [Music] three more cars sitting here Springfield and I realized the capital building is a ball right there the dirt Street window [Music] it's about 6:40 and quickly approaching the East st.

Louis had crossed over just south of the interstate bridge and it basically followed the river down switched over to the Missouri map here I'm down to about here and then it followed this highway pest Farmington down to Poplar Bluff here crossed over into Arkansas about this point at the more or less the northeastern corner of the state so that would have been up here sometime in the wee hours of the evening we were in Little Rock imagine it was pretty much along the highways that go diagonally down here and then this morning were in Texarkana so I suspect we were along the interstate most of the way but that whole section of southern Missouri and Arkansas so far has been exceptionally rough I've never seen a train trip so far that was so rough for so long now we're in Texas all the balancing here it's hard to do this right now we're following this highway here from Texarkana and I think we're going to go to Marshall which is here close to Shreveport and then the next point a call will be Dallas so I suspect burn be going pretty much along here to Dallas and we do go to Fort Worth and then to San Antonio so there should be this drop south your best Austin to San Antonio

across highway 95 here any moment [Music] [Music] yes as we should be right on top of it [Music] yes [Music] [Music] southbound between Holland and Bartlett [Music] which are both kind of east of Georgetown and north of Austin [Music] looks like we're paralleling highway 95 coming into San Marcos Texas now all right it's morning on Tuesday and according to the GPS were off of Highway 90 near the Mexican border and there's a big reservoir right on the border that extends up and then there's a highway one like this and there's place I can find that matches that is here near Del Rio and actually about 15 minutes ago so we did stop somewhere because I was taking a shower and that was probably Del Rio so we're up here now so there's still a lot of Texas to cross to get to help pass so up here what do we do during the night we started out at San Antonio so you want this far from here here and then not terribly far here so is that a mileage search makes it sound like we've only gone 140 miles and that doesn't seem like it can be right but yet I don't see any other places that bear any resemblance to it this this is to something seven up here and that is 277 so that's all we're at is Del Rio according to this del Rio is supposed to be reached at 5:49 in the morning so I guess were on time the main problem is that the Train apparently didn't start rolling in San Antonio until 2:45 in the morning I went to bed at 9:30 so I didn't rise as waited that long on the station before moving so I've been going about 3 hours must have been make a fairly slow time though all right well looks like today is gonna be Southwest Texas here Del Rio and we're still supposed to get all across here the Los Angeles one way to go yet we won't get to Tucson until both dinner time so beginning just start that was open we could see some of the boneyard doesn't look like that's likely to happen is going to take all day to get this distance from here to here this remaining distance at night so it's 7:50 in the morning when I got up at 5:30 we were near Del Rio and then after my shower went to breakfast just finished from breakfast and come back to the sleeper car at 7:50 and we're close to dryden if the cameras going to be able to focus on that there we go Dryden and when we were at San Antonio for hours last night and they've rejiggered the car and they added a lot of the train that was coming from New Orleans and turn it into the Sunset Limited going to LA my sleeper car was the only sleeper car on the train not counting the crew car and it was the first passenger car on the train so it was basic the locomotive and then the crew car and then my sleeper car and then after that was the dining car than the lounge car and then the three coach cars but now as I was surprised to find out this morning my sleeper car is the last car on the train and [Music] in order to get to the dining car I have to pay forward through I think it's for Coach cars and then the lounge car and then the dining car and then forward of that are at least two more sleeper cars that came out from the demon from New Orleans so it's a very different layout anyway so this morning when I got up we were near Del Rio and now we're near Dryden over here going along u.s. highway 90 I presume that's the wealth of the tracks we'll take this disability that supposedly there's a big bridge of some spectacular nature near Del Rio but conductors said we went over it in the dark so don't get to see that it looks like there'll be some scenic stuff happening up here after marathon up to alpine in Marfa it's listed as a scenic route so and about the same time as it's taken since I woke up a couple hours we should be there before that but halfway between Dryden and Sanderson this land is useful for any kind of grazing that's very desolate otherwise a bit of a dry riverbed right here meandering around four four four approaching Sanderson Texas and you're wondering I can check one wonder if they have problems with graboids out here one reason exam track one over Amtrak wallet over different identities to suffer in there Sanderson correct or yeah we don't partner to 24 okay now we're just coming up with warm Stearns I've got that Louis 517 going monitor hopefully in the next minute to intellectually come back you just give me a holler all right it's clear right now what is clear okay perfect perfect now I know we're having a slow trickle back after we started everything it's clear we'll think thank you thank you kind of curious what cars here I wonder what their purposes almost looks like they've got a small set of rails going down them departing Sanderson [Music] we're a bit self of highway 90 it just before 9 o'clock in the morning and according to the GPS were just a little bit southwest of the town of Rosenfeld and coming up on test us and they said we could lose some of these clowns be a little greater and prettier is made by four five bands from a structure halfway between Rosenfeld and testing us it's about 9:15 we're between test nests and Haymond it's south of highway 90 in a bit east of pi/3 highway 385 come on we've won only about 38 miles an hour not sure what we're going so slowly out here all right it's ten o'clock in the morning and we're sailing along next to highway 90 by the time of why not it's really cold I'm not sure why but I think it should be snowing the windows aren't cold so I don't think it's that cold outside but inside of the car I'd put my jacket on first time on this trip [Music] to you now passage in building 1 over B Authority in here accommodation first open door open air reservations on this you desire now popular definitely be positive after the big day of work on way back pages and around his wife car

giving a rodeo that clock the clock back one power once again day one our dining car is blowing the clock back and we my past fell to the all regular worth highway 67 comes in from the north and intersects with highway 90 ladies just a few minutes of us start taking reservations and the leaders have met alternative approaches varsity times will be developed 135 145 we do edges I made it very busy lunch today if you run it here before 30 anyway so we're right about here it's what they Congress did you part of the scenic area Alpine will be the next town entering alpine Texas and some
