3 Days Epic Trip on America's Transcontinental Sleeper Train! | 🇺🇸 Los Angeles - Chicago
🚆 Amtrak’s Southwest Chief Sleeper Train: Los Angeles → Chicago (43 hours)
Today, we ride the legendary Southwest Chief from Los Angeles to Chicago —
a 43-hour journey across 8 states, from painted deserts and mesas to the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River.
We booked the Roomette, the cheapest private sleeper room, and lived the classic overnight-train life:
meals, observation car views, a “luck-based” shower room… and a banana that slowly ripens as we get closer to Chicago 🍌
