We slept quite well on the train for the second night. We must be getting used to the motion and sound of the train. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the Kansas plains just before crossing the New Mexico state line.
We had a very nice breakfast in the dining room and watched the wide-open scenery go by. As the sun was piercing through the winter clouds it allowed for very nice photos.
The menu choices are not bad on the Amtrak’s Southwest Chief (name of our train). Everything was nicely prepared and better than what we had on our first train, the Lakeshore Limited, between New York and Chicago.
After breakfast, I tried to write some the blog and organize some pictures, but the train ride can be a bit bumpy at times. I managed to do some of the work.
First stop in New Mexico is a small town called Raton. I took advantage of the 15-minute stop to take some photos of the train station and our train.
We arrived at the tiny train station of Lamy, NM, about 20 minutes to our destination, The Eldorado Hotel & Spa. The Eldorado is a few minutes from Santa Fe’s historical Plaza. As part of the ticket price, Amtrak organizes a shuttle to pick you up from Lamy and drive you to downtown Santa Fe. Our driver was really nice as he dropped us off right at our hotel instead of the central depot.
