At this point I was pretty sure I’d just get off the train at Oregon City and find another way to my destination. More Sloan writing ensued:

“Amtrak: Every train journey is a story waiting to be told”

“Amtrak: Amtrak: You should always have a back-up plan”

“Amtrak: We'll get you halfway”

“Amtrak: why drive when you can get there in twice the time?”

“Amtrak: At least you can drink!”

“Amtrak: still better than driving through Tacoma!”

“Amtrak! It's anyone's guess when you'll actually arrive!”
