Amtrak is made from metal. So there is some relevance. Anyway. My 6
year old wants to ride Amtrak from IL to CA (Chicago to Emeryville
CA) in summer.

I first dismissed the idea, but now I like it. I doubt that Amtrak
will be around for much longer, and 7 (he will be 7 by summer) is old
enough to remember, so perhaps this ride would be a memorable
experience. he may not have a chance to do it when he grows up.

My question is, has anyone tried something like this, is there enough
we can do on the train to keep this 54 hour ride interesting?

If you go that far, go to "Old Sacramento" and see the railroad
museum. It's in Sacramento, between I-5 and the river. Great place to
spend the day!

If he does that, I'll take him on a tour
of Sacramento area surplus stores as well...
