Taking a series of trains, buses and fun facts about them

@skinnylatte and I guess the Coast Starlight (unlike the Capitol Corridor and Gold Runner nee San Joaquins) doesn't stop in Richmond. question answered. cool glad that works for you!

[rocketdyke@mastodon.social]

@skinnylatte I do love the Coast Starlight!

@skinnylatte Disappointed you're not taking a subterranean train across the Bering strait then the Transsiberian.

5. Bus no 4 from downtown LA to the fashion district

This was $1.75

Fun fact: if you take another bus or train within 2 hours on LA metro, the transfer is free. So going there and coming back can cost just $1.75

@skinnylatte buses are great! Ours has been 1$ for a long time.

@skinnylatte retroactively waves as you pass(ed) Diridon

[samantha@hachyderm.io]

@skinnylatte we used to live just a block from there! You are (or were) conveniently close to Sonoratown (delicious flour tortilla tacos)

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@samantha yup, am a big fan. One of the first spots I tried here back in the day

[samantha@hachyderm.io]

@skinnylatte god I miss good tacos. There's not much of a Mexican population in Vancouver, and thus also a sad lack of good tacos. I wonder if tacos are the best thing about America.

@skinnylatte Coast Starlight is a bucket list train. After living on the circus train, I've run some of those rails, but some of the gorgeous bits the senior techs (fairly) claimed. If money and time weren't an issue, I'd like to go from NYC, to San Diego, via Chicago and Seattle. I'd get to check off Montana, Washington and Oregon in one trip, and go from the worst rails on the continent to the best. Still annoyed I slept through the announcement when we crossed the Great Salt Lake.

Union Station, Los Angeles. Guess where I’m going next?

[erickasimone@mastodon.social]

@skinnylatte love union station so much

[davidnielsen@mastodon.social]

@skinnylatte I have no idea, but I know I am about to learn of all the great places to eat there.

[rednikki@toot.boston]

@skinnylatte One of the most beautiful train stations I’ve ever been in.

@skinnylatte Olvera Street?

[cshishido@infosec.exchange]

@skinnylatte ABQ is my vote!
I did a SNS -> LAX -> ABQ trip a few years ago using LAX as a provisioning stop both ways to visit JANM and Little Tokyo.

Philippe's? You should definitely get a sandwich au jus.
