In Albuquerque & Flagstaff, hail to Amtrak's Southwest Chief

I greatly appreciated "Albuquerque Rising" and "Hippies, Hogs and Ol' Haunts" in the Jan. 14 section but was dismayed that in the accompanying information yet again no mention was made of Amtrak.

One of America's most beautiful train rides, the Southwest Chief, leaves from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles and stops near Jerome (in Flagstaff, itself a tourist destination, along with the nearby Grand Canyon) and then continues directly to Albuquerque (stopping downtown, a short walk from Central Avenue).
