Retro Road Podcast – Episode 103 – All Board! Part 2

Welcome aboard to our final episode on American train travel! While we talked extensively about the sleeping car in a previous episode, today we cover all the other types of cars on Amtrak’s trains, and how they truly set train travel apart from other common modes of transportation. We also talk about chemtrails, force fields, and grits, so, obviously, you don’t want to miss it! Enjoy the show! You can listen here,  or subscribe on iTunes, where we’d love to have your review!

A Quick Note

For my regular and/or email readers, I just wanted to let you know that I’m having significant problems with my computer, and no time at all to deal with it! I haven’t been writing on my blog lately because of it, and, very sweetly, have had a few people reach out to be sure I was okay.

All Things New

There has been a whirlwind of goodness happening around here. I don’t take that for granted, either; trust me. Over the last couple of years there have been some hard things that have preceded the good, so I plan to ride out this wind of delight with gratefulness.

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” ~ Revelation 21:5 NIV
