Beautiful #Houston, TX 🇺🇸, the country’s fourth most populous city, isn’t exactly a railroad town, it seems. In terms of passenger traffic, there’s #Amtrak’s “Sunset Limited”, stopping here three times a week, in every direction. And the station square isn’t really a cosy place, with trees, benches and so on.

Loudspeaker announcements on the train, starting with
#SBB🇨🇭: Geschätzte Fahrgäste!
#Amtrak 🇺🇸: Folks!
Both are quite cute actually. Inclusive language, each one in their own way, ensuring all individuals would feel respected and valued, regardless of their identity.

San Antonio, TX, 🇺🇸 and its beautiful Sunset Route depot. The #Amtrak “Sunset Limited” makes a lengthy stop here. The through cars, that will continue up to Chicago as part of the “Texas Eagle”, are being detached here.
This train station is place full of references to the former Southern Pacific Railroad, now UP.

On its way to New Orleans, the “Sunset Limited” #Amtrak 🇺🇸 train #2 traverses the State of #Texas from west to east. This takes about 24 hours. I’m posting a few pictures here, taken along the route, starting with El Paso and the surrounding area, at the western edge of the State.

For years – decades – I've taken a picture of this spindly Poinsettia tree at the San Luis Obispo Amtrak station every time I pass through. I don't know why I like it so much. Usually has at least one bloom all year round.

Today I saw these trees with the bright orange blooms on them, I've never seen them bloom before. Does anyone know what these are?
