3:50 am. Finally on the train. It was an hour late arriving at Newton. This is pretty wild. The train car is two levels and I am on the upper level. Since it was so late(early) the cars are dark and most people were sleeping. I know all the kids are on the train, but I only know where Mark, Mr. and Mrs. B, Bruce and myself are at. Part of us are downstairs and part on the upper level. It's pretty comfortable--good leg room (yay!) Everything is quiet except for the gentle thump of the wheels on the rails and a soft clatter from the connector between the cars. It sways quite a bit up here, so I hope Genny remembered her motion pills. We pass through empty, streetlight lit towns, then back to the country. I'm looking forward to daylight so we can start seeing some of the country. I think we get to Chicago around 3 pm today, change trains, then on to DC and Baltimore. Hope all the kids are catching some Zs. More later. No worries, Moms and Dads.
