Joe, Check this one out, Go to NY city Penn station & take the Lakeshore ltd it leaves NY at 3:40pm to Chicago. It gets in to Chicago at 9:50 am. You have a 6 hr layover. The Southwest Chief leaves Chicago 2:50pm. Chicago is a great city to sight see in. The SW Chief 1 night from Chicago, stops in Flagstaff at 8:30 the next evening, 144 miles from Pheonix little over 2 hr drive. I'm playing around with idea's....Joe, in case you are not aware of it, the roomettes on the Meteor are way better than the roomettes on the SW Chief and Sunset ltd. I hate the roomettes on the long distance trains. There is no room in them, & they don't have a toilet or sink. That's why we always take a bedroom, much more money but worth it.
