Wonderful Real-Life Train Names

 

 

 The California ZEPHYR!!  

What a word! I had to look it up. Zephyr is a soft breeze.

 Who uses it now?

Imagine The Coast Starlight streaming from Los Angeles to Seattle at night.

 

The Palmetto from NYC to balmy Savannah.

 

The Empire Builder sounds so New York tough.

.

The Capitol Limited seems prescient in view of today's truncated politics! 

And naming a train after a city:  The City of New Orleans

I think it was the Silver Star that Sam and Rachel and I rode overnight down to

Miami from Washington DC many years ago.  Emmy and Didi met us in Miami.
