Amtrak 1 Sunset Limited & 421 Texas Eagle – Mexico

From the train we had some nice views of Mexico and the US / Mexico border wall.

We got to see some gorgeous mountains to our south.

El Paso, TX – Union Depot

At El Paso, Texas we had around a 30 minute stop to stretch our legs. There was also a woman selling burritos who is well known to the train crew and regulars.

At this point our train had two engines, a baggage car, two sleeper cars in the front, a dining car, a cafe / lounge car, three or four coaches, and then our sleeping car in the rear.

Amtrak 1 Sunset Limited & 421 Texas Eagle – Superliner Sleeper Car

After San Antonio the Sunset Limited and the Texas Eagle had joined together I took some images during the afternoon. I decided to take some photos out of the back of the train of the tracks as we were traveling.

Lots of open sky and single track.

San Antonio, TX – The HemisFair District

On our walk back to the San Antonio Station we walked back through The HemisFair District.

San Antonio has a tower that was rather pretty at night, the Tower of the Americas.

San Antonio, TX – The Alamo

While we were in San Antonio we payed a brief visit to The Alamo.

Unfortunately we only got to see The Alamo in the dark.
