Too hard to get a good shot of Shasta with the sun right there, but here’s Black Butte

Standing room only in the lower level, only 20 minutes to my stop

Blue sky, Mt Diablo, what’s left of the Mothball Fleet, some marsh probably, a stubborn looking sapling, and the other tracks.

A little insight into my character, when I think of “hills” this is what I picture

Blue sky; telephone or power lines, something if that nature; golden hills covered in wheat of some sort I’m guessing and scattered with oaks. A dirt road and barbed wire in the foreground

Public Art, metal sculpture of two Chinese railroad workers

THE IRON ROAD PIONEERS
By
Artist Elizabeth MacQueen

鐵路先鋒
THE IRON ROAD PIONEERS
By
Artist Elizabeth MacQueen
This Sculpture commemorates and honors the enormous contribution of the Chinese Immigrants who helped build the early railroads on the Central Coast and across our nation. Their laborious efforts helped to lay the early foundations for San Luis Obispo to become the premier model urban community that we enjoy today.
The first narrow gauge rail line in this region was completed in 1876. It enabled San Luis Obispo's agricultural areas to send their products worldwide via Port Harford (now Port San Luis.)
Thousands of Chinese laborers graded the roadbeds, built trestles, cut major access roads, and risked their lives in the process. Many died and were laid to rest in unmarked graves.
This sculpture is an everlasting monument in recognition of those Iron Road Pioneers.

Can’t tell if we are in fog or smoke. Probably fog, right?

Mostly just grey, some scrubby bushes and sandy dirt in the foreground

Multipurpose Goddess @skaredoff.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Don’t know if these formations have names, but it’s always a treat to get a picture of the front if the train

Blue sky with puffy white clouds, some hills or rock formations, I believe dark with vegetation, the front engine of the Southwest Chief 3 pulling us away from Route 66, some paler dry grass of some sort and sagebrushy stuff in the foreground

Did not get a good look at Las Vegas. This might be Starvation Peak, if I am reading the map right.

Mountain, I assume, blocky at the peak, with brushy shrubbery in the foreground

Didn’t quite sleep all the way through Ohio. Sunrise as we approach Toledo

Sunrise over a grassy landscape with dome trees. Clouds mass at the top of the picture but blue sky is visible below, still showing orange close to the horizon and a yellow sun appearing to rest on the ground.

There was a lot more orange a little while before but I didn’t capture it

The Metropolitan Lounge here overlooks the station proper

Philadelphia 30th St station as seen from the Metropolitan Lounge. A lot of marble, not too many people waiting right now but it gives the impression of bustling

I always enjoyed seeing her in New Orleans, so seemed fitting.

Joan of Arc on a horse and holding a banner, all shiny gold with lushly leaved trees behind and green shrubbery before

Broken tree in silvery metal, which a couple of birds have landed on. I don’t know what this is but I like it.

Having an omelette at Cafe Beignet, I think I just saw the shuttles roll by. I didn’t think they started running for another 45 minutes or so, maybe they are just getting to their origin point

French omelet with ham and cheese, possibly the most refined grits I have ever had, bread, mocha, bloody mary. I decided to come here because it’s conveniently located but the food is good!

In Yazoo. Not gonna lie, the sign for Yazoo Donuts is effective advertising, I would go get one if this were a long stop

Completely failed to take pictures on the tour. I went to aim at the Wrigley Building and between the angle of the su and my polarized glasses I could not see my phone screen, so I just put it away for the duration. Did take this from the Riverwalk because the reflections were very cool

I am such a disappointment to my tour docent who expected us all to learn 25 facts. I have already forgotten the name of this building. It’s at the confluence of, um, two forks of the Chicago river? Anyway, I really like the way the parabolic bit reflects the river and that piece of art

If I am reading map right, this is my first sighting of Wisconsin

A body of water, I can’t tell if it is a river or a lake much less what the name of it might be, Wisconsin (I believe) visible on the far side and a tree of some sort in the foreground. Nothing but blue skies all day

View of the Mississippi from St. Paul Union Depot (the other end from what I usually picture…)

Day 5/30 Train 4/14? Segment 2/10 Still on the Empire Builder, about 10 hours to go. 25 min to St. Cloud, I believe the seat next to mine is reserved for an onboarding passenger, better consolidate my stuff

There are apparently a lot of people getting on in St. Cloud in the morning, we have been warned that the car attendant may have to wake us singletons up to move so they can seat families together. Sigh. Here’s me all geared up to sleep:

A face half covered by a really effective sleep mask and snuggled up to a decent enough travel pillow that straps around the neck to prop up the head

A cream hard-shelled roller carryon, a lavender duffle, a purple backpack, a rainbow tote, and a rolled up blanket.

Just think how much more effective this would make, for example, a warding or protective spell

View of sword spoons showing them filled with salr or dried herbs:

1 Tablespoon – Broadsword (approx. 6 5/8")

My takeout fortune cookies are setting me up for too much relationship drama in too short a timeframe. That soup was really good, though

Three fortunes from cookies. First “Love and romance will flourish in December.” Second “Love will find its way into your life this February.” Lastly “You will meet someone special in March.”

Picked up 3 orders of biang biang noodles from Wild Ginger Streetfood in Alameda: Spicy Cumin Lamb, Spicy Hot Oil Seared, and Mixed Vegi. Brought to my folks to share. All delicious, maybe twice as much food as we needed. 5 stars, no notes #AutomaticNoodle

I meant to take a picture as they came from the restaurant but I forgot until after I’d dished up. Clockwise from the bottom, Veggie, Oil Seared, Lamb. So Delicious sundae cones for dessert not pictured.

Interpretive sign saying

Pickleweed
Salicornia pacifica
The name pickleweed comes from the plant's pickle-like appearance and salty taste. It grows in the low to middle tidal zones, where it is inundated twice a day by the tides.
Pickleweed is the critical habitat for the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.
