New Iowa Guy

[rjcraig]

Hi everyone! My name is Bob and I live in the Des Moines area. I'm a Zephyr guy and about once a year take the train from Osceola, Ia. to Martinez, Ca. to visit friends I met on the Zephyr 17 ago. I have ridden most of the long haul routes over the years. What I haven't done yet is the Boston section of the Lake Shore Limited. I have not done the Silver Service south of Orlando, nor the New Orleans - San Antonio section of the Sunset Limited. Other than those I've ridden them all. I'm a roomette kind of guy! Thank you for allowing me to join!

Bob

Welcome to AU, I think you'll find a wealth of knowledge here. I used to live in Des Moines in the mid-'80s, maybe one day you'll get passenger service again. A corridor train from Omaha thru Des Moines to Chicago makes sense to me but the efforts to make that happen seem to have stalled.
