Since I've been telling anyone who'll listen for the last couple of years that we've got to use trains for travel more often, I decided that I should take my own advice. I'm going to visit my little sister in Oklahoma, so I'm taking Amtrak there from Los Angeles. I'm taking the Texas Eagle to Fort Worth, and then the Heartland Flyer to Norman, Oklahoma.

It's going to be a long trip (about two days). It could be a lot shorter, but we've been letting our passenger rail service rot for sixty years. I'll post pictures from the trip when I get to Norman, and sooner if I can snipe some WiFi along the way. Until I do, here is a picture of the Capital Corridor train rolling into Davis.
