Summer vacation season may be over, but you still have time to take a virtual trip with award-winning travel journalist, remote social worker, and proudly self-described "train travel queen" Sojourner White.
Check out her latest video, where she documents a cross-country trip on Amtrak's Southwest Chief, shares the pleasures of seeing America by rail, and gives some seriously practical tips for making the most of 40-plus hours in a sleeper car. (Hint: it's time to take your journaling game to the next level.) And if you're interested in policies that can help make train travel accessible to more Americans, check out Streetsblog's back catalog of Amtrak content.
