It truly was one of my life's great experiences to ride the Amtrak Capitol Limited between Chicago and Washington, DC after Amtrak Train Days in Chicago. I have always been fascinated with the story of how our railroads built America. Traveling this stretch of the historic Baltimore and Ohio truly was a treat.
As I relaxed and had a french toast breakfast in the dining car, I watched history roll by my window. The scenery unfolded in a rich forest of hardwood trees which built the progress of the railroad and the cities and towns along the right of way.
As you see America from a train, your eyes truly experience the story of our country. You see how the cities and towns connect. You understand that a lumber mill or factory in the town that you pass sparked the growth of the communities that surround. You truly see the story of America when you ride upon Amtrak.
