#TRAIN!

Maggie Koerth-Baker of Boing Boing tweets from a train...

  1. Who is riding a train from Vancouver to Seattle this morning? #thislady
  2. @maggiekb1 Are you doing anything in Seattle or just passing thru?
  3. @kentsbike Just a layover before I board my train to Minneapolis. Which, since it's a train, means lunch with friends and a bit of tourism
  4. @maggiekb1 You travel well. If you need coffee, hit Zeitgeist. It's just a couple of blocks from the Seattle Amtrak station.
  5. ------------------------------------------------------------
  6. They've got some seriously awesome bridges in British Columbia. #TRAIN!
  7. It occurs to me that I haven't explained the full extent of #TRAIN! Over next 2 days, I'll be riding Amtrak from Vancouver to Minneapolis.
  8. @maggiekb1 Vancouver, B.C? I love train trips. Canada's VIA is good, but I can't remember ever getting a steak dinner...
  9. @seansommerfeld Amtrak. When you purchase private room, meals come with it. Menu on Empire Builder includes steak.
  10. @maggiekb1 added to my list of things to try when in U.S.A. Bourbon you recommended is VERY nice, BTW. Thanks again for recommending it!
  11. ------------------------------------------------------------
  12. This is the first leg. Vancouver > Seattle. The second leg involves a private cabin & a steak dinner. #TRAIN!
  13. @maggiekb1 hope you had a great time visiting our amazing city! #YVR enjoy the epic train ride home
  14. @maggiekb1 My wife's from Vancouver. Where was #AAAS, downtown at the Convention Centre? By Mink Coffee & Chocolates?
  15. ------------------------------------------------------------
  16. @maggiekb1 Let me guess: Maggie in the bar car looking out the window. Do they still have bar cars?
  17. @contingent There is a lounge. I have not been to it yet. Currently, I am sitting in my big comfy seat looking at ocean.
  18. @maggiekb1 Please also let us know if any strangers on the train make sinister propositions. Or if you have to throw mama from it.
  19. ------------------------------------------------------------
  20. Nearing the border crossing. Tracks run along a little ledge between a cliff and the rocky Pacific coastline. #TRAIN!
