April 25 - May 3, 2007 - Chris Guenzler Millionth Rail Mile: Report & Photos by Carl Morrison.
Chris Guenzler and I met through my association with Steve Grande, and Ray Burns when I started writing for TrainWeb. Chris had written many rail travelogues for TrainWeb, which I had read online, but I had never met him.

The below rail trip celebrates Chris Guenzler reaching travel of One Million miles just on Amtrak.
Chris has traveled on every Amtrak route in the United States, including many routes that no longer exist.

However, I will keep it to a minimum. Train photos from the same locations during the round trip are grouped together. Due to nighttime traveling, some locations have no photographs. The first section is on the Pennsylvanian from Harrisburg to Johnstown. The few Pittsburgh photos are placed in the Capitol Limited photos from Pittsburgh to Chicago. The Southwest Chief has...
