Off the train. Having a smoke in Thurmond WV. Hey why should the smokers have all the fun?
On Friday I learned :
- I can not read on the train.
- Always use the head when the train is stopped.
- The food isn’t very good but the coffee is fine.
- Amtrak loves a/c.
Notes that I made as I rolled along on The Cardinal.
