Trip to Chicago 1

Hi guys, let's talk about my trip to Chicago.
My belief is 'Experience as possible as I can'. So I want to experience a lot of things during in the U.S.. And then, I decide to go to Chicago by Amtrak.
Actually, it takes 48 hours from Portland to Chicago. Yeah. I know It's crazy. However, I did it by my self!

What I ride train line's name is 'Empire builder'
It starts Seattle/Portland, and two trains combine at Spokane,WA. (I think it happened at midnight) and then go to east.


First, I booked ticket. But departure date is too close, there's no berth. So I reserved coach seat. Well, the coach seat was not bad. If it is an airplane, that seat is probably counted as business class. But it's not good for sleep :( (During the night, Coach train is really, really, seriously cold)
Coach seat
August 28th, 4:45 pm. was departure time. But it delayed almost 2 hours :( (In the U.S., on the train road, people are the last. Why? there is a lot of politics and economic things are complex) Anyway, Amtrak moved!!!





First day, we run Washington state and during night, we passed Idaho state, and entered Montana state.

Be countinued :)
