[QUOTE]Originally posted by train lady: [QB] I have traveled on the Capital many times. I like getting to Cumberland because you can see so much from the windows. It usually gets there in the evening so you won't have too much time to be uncomfortable about the smoking before bed time. Then you get into Chi in the morning(if you are lucky , not too late) so there isn't much time to be miserable, I smoked for many years and I know how miserable it can be but don't take a chance and smoke on the train. You can be put off at the next station. They will announce the "'smoking stops" before you get there and the smokers are usually lined up at the door with cigarettes ready the minute the door is opened. What did you want to know about the Capital route? If noises bother you ear plugs couldn't hurt. I suggest you bring a wrap, light blanket ,afgan etc because it can get chilly at night. Also put some snacks (especially since you will be smokeless for periods of time)and a bottle of water in your cary on. I think you can store bags on a rack on the lower level but we haven't gone coach for some time so I am not sure. Someone here can answere that. But be sure to take a small carry on or tote bag to keep with you with small toilet article bag, snacks, book or what else you may need for the 14 hours so you don't have to open your big bags. In Chicago you can check the big ones through so you will need to keep out sleepwear. I sleep in knit slacks and a t shirt and wear slip on shoes so I don't have to have a robe and slippers. You are not an idiot!!! We all went through the learning process of how to and what to on the train and you will find the posters on this forum are really helpful and friendly. When I was in Eurpoe we took the train from Calais to Dover and I assure you I had many questions. So ask away.Oh, and do try to eat in the diner. You do meet interesting peole from all over [/QB][/QUOTE]
