There was surprisingly little snow on the ground in the Rockies!
Thanks for sharing your trip. I've been a fan of train travel since I was a child. We lived in NJ and grandparents on both sides lived in California, where my parents grew up. My dad hated flying, so we went by train if we went to visit: 20th Century Limited to Chicago and then the SuperChief to L.A. it was quite an adventure in the '50's and early '60's. Then we moved to CA in 1965 when my dad retired.
Looking forward to the full video.
