The best train ride in the USA is Denver to Oakland crossing the Rockies and Sierras. I used to do it in the days of the Rio Grand Zephyr. I love Budd domes.

I rode the Zephyr a few weeks after this. This section was definitely one of the highlights of the trip!

What kind of camera was this taken on?

[@slakingfool]

Just an iPhone 5S, held up against the window to avoid reflections. It also explains the clicking sounds as the protective case wasn't quite flush. The downside is that I had to stand there for 20 minutes holding the device in place.

Wow. I'm surprised. It's got a cool I don't know if you call it an "aspect" or what. It may be the hd. But it looks almost like something filmed on a stage in places.
