FWIW: I sent in a glowing report on Cammy.

Thanks for sharing Designer. What part(s) of California did you make it to?

I jumped off in Roseville, where my brother lives and attended my nephew's wedding in Sacramento on Saturday, June 20. Stayed in Roseville two nights and caught the train back to Iowa on Sunday.

Unfortunately, yes, but I had a few with my two brothers.

Nice shots to document your trip.
Have they finished the new parking lot at the station in Ottumwa?

Thank you!

Sorry, I failed to notice the parking situation in Ottumwa. (edit) Come to think about it now, I did not go through Ottumwa

My bad.
I meant to type Osceola instead of Ottumwa. Ottumwa is the 1st stop east of Osceola, so since you were west bound .......

Is the photo of Camela and Cammy at the Granby stop?
I sent kudos in about Cammy too. I recommended Amtrak promote Camela to unemployed.

Osceloa parking lot is not finished, and barely started, IMO.

I don't remember which stop it was, sorry.

Camela does her job, albeit without a smile.

Now I want to by my own train car!

You can charter one for $6000 to $10000 a day. There are several companies that have them.
Some of the charter sleeper cars can accommodate up to 10 people.
