A Train Trip with Many Milestones

Cardinal

In honor of her son’s 18th birthday and high school graduation, Jessica and her son boarded Amtrak for a cross-country train trip beginning in sunny Los Angeles, California, and ending in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

White Sulphur Springs is home to the famous Greenbrier resort and is served by the Cardinal, which runs three days a week between New York City and Chicago, Ill.

“We were so very lucky to have Mama Janice taking care of us and making us laugh all the way,” says Jessica. Go #TeamAmtrak!
