Amtrak's Southwest Chief, 3/31/08: Rolling Scenery

We were doing well on this train to the point that we were 6 minutes early into some stations today...and then a BNSF freight sort of stopped us in our tracks (so to say). So, this is the scenery of Illinois as taken from the Southwest Chief's lounge car as we roll along the 75 mph zone (although it felt like we were highballing at about 83).
