Train travel to and from our biking trip May 2023

 Took the train!


All meals come with sleeper cars.   You get to meet fellow passengers, have a relaxing meal and drink, get out of the room.  It is a neat experience.


On the coast Starlight, going north, you wake up to see Mt. Shashta.  

Once in Oregon, there are big lakes.



Across from the train station

In Portland, we stayed at The Society hotel in their bunk rooms.

Stacked 3 high!  I was impressed with how clean and comfortable it all was.  Mostly quiet folks-even though it was fully booked I only saw/heard a couple people.

We walked right past Chinatown.  There is a small museum I'd like to visit next time.


Jump to the train ride home


Just outside of San Jose is the bottom of the bay

There used to be a town, Drawbridge.


These days you can't even access it, you can only see it from the train.

The San Jose station has some lovely roses.
