We woke up early, because, since the train was arriving in Los Angeles at 8:00, they were only serving breakfast between 5:00 and 6:00. There are only a few things to do on the train, and meals pretty much tops the list. We are up at 4:30, so as not to miss breakfast. The train is, ALAS, no longer on time. It’s now running late by an hour. But that’s still okay, we have two hour to make the transfer.
Breakfast must be completed by the time we reach San Bernardino, or so we are told multiple times over the trains PA system. And for some magical Amtrak reason, we are back on schedule, and going to arrive early in Los Angeles.
One of the advantages of riding in a sleeper is access, besides getting to sleep and included meals, is access to the Amtrak Lounge. Nice, not luxurious, but nice.
We made our connection with ease. Got to Salina’s only 15 mi minutes late, not bad by Amtrak standards. Met our son, had a nice dinner , and crashed for the night.
