The current Amtrak station looks like garbage and has a large area of its roof cut away for a low highway overpass; in other news it always amazes me how much vacant space there is in American citiespic.twitter.com/LJM3K8bkxj
I arrived in Pittsburgh in the evening, spent a night, explored the next day, then took a midnight train for Chicago, arriving in the morning. I wasn't in Chicago long--just changing trains--but I wanted to see Cabrini Green bc I had just watched Candymanpic.twitter.com/phA3t6YhjJ
The train left Chicago, headed up to Milwaukee, across the lovely Wisconsin countryside, and across the Mississippi into Minnesota as the sun was settingpic.twitter.com/HKh0D0w6l5
We left Minneapolis around Midnight and I woke up the next morning near Minot, NDpic.twitter.com/PgBoWRd90O
as we continued west into Montana, the roads got dustier, the trees rarer, and the land flatterpic.twitter.com/pmOEvynWbt
To the south, the faint outline of the Bearpaws came into view. We stopped at Shelby, MT, then continued on to Cut Bank, passing a line of cliffs and foothills as we did--the Rockies getting closerpic.twitter.com/xyuullBiRh
Did you ever have Microsoft Train Simulator? I liked the Marias Pass segment between Kalispell and Shelby.
There were maybe half a dozen lines. Iirc they included - Marias Pass (freight trains, not Amtrak) - Acela bt Philly & DC - an Odakyu segment near Tokyo - some mountainous line with switchbacks in southern Kyushu - historic Newcastle & Carlisle steam line in northern England
