Gary, I'm envious. I recently finished reading Stephen Ambrose's Nothing Like It in the World about the building of the Pacific Railroad in the 1860s, and I've been thinking about how cool it would be to take that trip by train (or at least as close as you can make it today). Especially interesting would be the section up, over and down the Sierras. Please let us know how it was when you finish the trip!
