A very positive experience on Amtrak, as published on the Washington, DC Post, 3/2/12:

There I was, in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, looking down at the Colorado River. Animal tracks in the snow made a dotted line beside the water. But where, I wondered, were the bighorn sheep? The black bears? I pressed my nose to the glass and followed the tracks carefully, expecting — any second now — to see wildlife.

About to travel by rail to Albuquerque.  Thanks for such a well-written piece.
