lisa c<p>I have seen five fireworks shows while crossing Utah on the train tonight. also apparently red white and blue Christmas lights are a thing on 4th of July. also every little town has a beautiful clean train platform, looks like great public transit.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Amtrak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amtrak</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CaliforniaZephyr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CaliforniaZephyr</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/T%C3%A5gskryt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tågskryt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TransitViews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransitViews</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trains</span></a></p>
lisa c<p>I travel with trekking sticks because I never know when my knee is going to hate me but by far the best use of them is propping up plugs 🔌 on Amtrak where about 75% of the sockets are so wide the plugs just fall out.
