Southwest Chief

I’m rolling across the plains of Kansas on the final Stretch to Chicago. The coronavirus has made itself felt by the lack of freight trains as trade between China and the U.S. slows. The  Southwest Chief has been ontime or ahead of schedule the entire trip, an astonishing turn of events for an AMTRAK long distance train. It is also lightly loaded. After a break in Chicago I’ll be boarding the Lakeshore limited for New York city via Albany arriving NYC 11th.
