Two months ago, I got back from my trip to Oregon from Los Angeles, I have been slowly working on a trip report and I am finally done and published it on my website. Here is the link to go read it, I will also have some of the videos from the trip on the site later today.

Anton, your report was great. Thank you. That strawberry cheesecake sure does look good.

Anton:

FYI, the "railroad nail" is a date nail. The number was the date the tie was placed in track. Most railroads discontinued their use sometime in the fifties. In fact, 55 is about as late a date as I have ever seen.

Hello Anton, thanks for a really great travelogue. It helped pass my lunchtime at my desk really fast, which is not so good. Keep up the good work with your travel stories & I'm glad you like the Coast Starlight so much, it's also my favourite train to travel on, which I have done several, at least 5 times when I have holidays in your country.
Mike in Australia.

Anton, we really enjoyed your trip report. Thank you for taking the time write it and add all the pictures. I am leaving Mon. with my 2 granddaughters, ages 8 & 11. We'll be going to Seattle, staying a week and then returning home to San Diego on the train.
My 8 yr. old granddaughter's favorite food is strawberry anything. She said if there isn't any more strawberry sauce for the cheesecake, she'll know who to blame.
The girls will be doing a daily trip journal, too, but it won't be posted here. I don't know how we could top yours!
