We’re here! Let me know if you’d like to meet at any time during the week.

We made it to DC! We know that not everyone has the time or the money for long distance train travel, but if you are thinking about it then we would definitely recommend! #Train2AGU

Perfect reading for a journey across America! It’s been 3 days since we left Austin (42 hours on a train) and we only have 2 hours to go to DC! #Train2AGU
Me holding a book: “Travels with Charley” by John Steinbeck. In the background you see Alice staring out of the train window.

Woke up to a misty morning as the train rolls through Pennsylvania alongside the Casselman River. It’s nice that the top bunks have windows too. We had a nice and refreshing sleep and are excited for some good science this afternoon @agu.org! #Train2AGU

The dining car on the Floridian is much fancier than the Texas Eagle! It’s popular too, so we shared a table with two fellow travellers and had a lovely dinner. #Train2AGU
Alice sitting across from me in the dining car. Two plates of fancy food are on the table along with glasses of wine and fizzy water.

Speeding towards DC on the final leg of our #Train2AGU journey and @alicerturner.bsky.social has already got the sewing out.

We spent the night in Chicago and then had most of the day to explore the city! We hit up Lake Michigan, the Field Museum and the canals. #Train2AGU

We had a fab day in St Louis and now we are off again on #Train2AGU. 5 hours until we’re in Chicago!

21 hours after we left Austin, we arrived in St Louis! We could be in Chicago by lunchtime and DC tomorrow, but we’re getting off to spend the day exploring! #Train2AGU

As we roll through Arkansas on our #Train2AGU, it’s time to get some sleep. Goodnight everyone and goodnight @alicerturner.bsky.social 😴

When taking the Amtrak, it is very important to have a ticket to ride…

5 hours into #Train2AGU and we’ve made it Fort Worth. Had time to stretch our legs and chat to a guy on the platform. After hearing our accents he remarked that “The UK went downhill after it closed its coal-fired power plants.” At least he’s (accidentally) doing his bit for #ClimateFriendlyTravel!
