Hi all -- I just posted another AMTRAK route guide on my web site -- the Blue Water route from Chicago to Port Huron:

Enjoy, and let me know if there are any problems or corrections needed!

Those are great route guides, from what I have read so far. I know how much work they are to do because I did a few for some long-distance steam excursions in the 1990s. I had a lot of fun doing them, and the passengers seemed to appreciate them.

Keep up the good work!

Excellent reports, Rich. The detail is very valuable, and you have a good eye for what's important.

I would suggest only that you both enlarge the size of the text AND shorten the line lengths to make for easier reading. Some of us geezers have a little trouble.

Henry -- the reason for the small text size and long line lengths is that I am trying to save space on the web site -- the site already has 130 pages or so in it, and I am not sure how much more capacity I'll be able to put on the site and still be assured that the whole site will load when I update it.

But, as always, thanks for the comments!

Henry: For those of us who need bigger text, the Ctrl + key combo works wonders! Ctrl - makes text smaller. For those too-wide lines, you'd have to copy the text and paste it into a Word-type doc, then set the margins to your liking.

RRRICH: Thank you for explaining why you made the text so wide. NOW I understand why some sites do this.
