| Boarding Amtrak's Cardinal |
Traveling Amtrak's Cardinal Washington, DC, to Chicago June 16-17
Headed to DC's Union Station early Sunday morning to board Amtrak's Cardinal for the 24 hours trip to Chicago through Virginia and West Virginia during the daylight hours and then overnight through Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. The trip was basically on time and we arrived Chicago 10:24 AM Monday morning. It was a pleasant trip with only a couple opportunities to get off the train for a fresh air break notably Charlottesville, VA, and Huntington, WV. We did travel along the New River for a while and I took photos although the windows were not clear and afternoon sun created glaring conditions along the river. Nevertheless, here are several selected photos from the trip. Remember you can click on the photos to see a full size version.
After arriving in Chicago, my hotel THE WIT Hotel a Doubletree by Hilton already had my chosen room so I checked in and settled in for my three night stay. The photos below are the view of the Chicago River from my 20th floor room.
