and the service i am taking is the sunset limited train line. the route dates back to 1894, and stretches some 2000 miles coast to coast from new 0rlea ns to los angeles, passing through five different us states. an odyssey, really. so this is a route steeped in history, but i am hoping it's also going to tell me something about contemporary america, too. right up the stairs. thank you. back in the day, several railroad franchises joined up to create this pan—american rail network. and along the route, significant landmarks, historical and natural, reveal themselves to passengers. this is a view of the mississippi river on huey p long bridge. we are right in the middle of two lanes of traffic, which is a weird feeling. it gets rocky, doesn't it sometimes? one of the tricks with moving down the train is to keep your feet about shoulder width apart, and keep one hand free so you can touch things as you are going through, whether it is the back of the seats, or we have the grab irons which you can use. have you ever fallen on a customer? yes. lau

train supervisor bruce is a veteran of the sunset limited line. the railroad was what created the united states, it opened up transportation from east to west. and so that was the big thing, transportation of both goods and people. the train might have been instrumental in the creation of modern day america, but today rail use is way below that of air and road travel which are often cheaper and quicker. so why would anyone take the train? there are areas where you basically don't have planes flying into and you don't have greyhound buses go into it, so these isolated areas in texas, especially, and new mexico, this is the lifeblood to get transportation through. every trip is unique. it's a moving city, so you have people giving births, you have people... that's happened 7 yeah. sometimes we are an hour away from civilisation and babies don't wait. we have just crossed lines, guys! we're in texas. 0n we roll as we cross into texas and arejoined by a group of train buffs on a day trip. so are you mostly here because of them, because of these two? y
