REMEMBER THE GUY WHO RODE ACROSS THE USA BY TRAIN FOR JUST $213? I SPENT 54 HOURS ON THE SAME TRAIN FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO CHICAGO
[You’re reading Part 3, and conclusion, of my train adventure. Read Part 1 and Part 2 here.]
So far I’d been on the train for two days and two nights. This photo was taken somewhere between Nebraska and Iowa on the early morning of the third day.
Lots of farms and quaint homes.
I was in the bathroom and noticed something strange. This sticker of a pink, gift-wrapped box was placed on my Ziploc bag of toiletries by my niece back in Cali.
On the wall of the bathroom was this sticker of a pink, gift-wrapped box.
The truth is out there, people. #xfiles
The gentle flatlands of Iowa.
Creston, IA, might be an old tourist town. I saw several hotels from the train.
A train yard in Iowa.
Illinois farmland.
The weak-ass Mississippi. Just kidding. This river is big.
We made it to Kanye-land!
We arrived at Union Station in Chicago only 20 minutes late. I was happy to get off. 54 hours and 20 minutes is a bit too long to endure on a train.
Walking through Union Station looking for food to break my fast!
Wait for it…
Here is my first meal after fasting for two days! I didn’t win anything from Monopoly.
The end.
