The Capitol Limited

The slow steady midnight train to Chicago, the Capitol Limited, was worth every minute. The experience included storm clouds, rain, a sunset, a sunrise, miles of farmland and steel mills. Riding through Pittsburgh was less revealing than I imagined, but I captured a few photographs displaying the city amongst bridges.  Below are a few unprocessed images from the first two legs of this trip. Today we board for the longest segment,  31 hours to Flagstaff, AZ.  We'll travel through Illinois, Iowa(tiny bit), Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.  I wonder what else is out there besides corn and soy?
