Riding The Rails

Blogging from the comfort of the Cardinal. The Amtrak service connects New York City with Chicago. I am on my way to Charlottesville VA. You figure out how Charlottesville is on the way to Chicago. Maybe why Amtrak is less than a model of efficency. But it sure the hell beats driving down 95 on the Friday before Labor Day - and with the post Katrina gas prices, its cheaper too. Look forward to more breaking news blog entries like this one from my mobile phone as events develop.
