A lot of things change, but some others simply don't. 30 miles or so outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Amtrak train # 3 the westbound 'Southwest Chief' is making good time as we fly by an almost timeless western scene.

Traversing New Mexico on the old Raton Pass was like stepping back in time. To me, Amtrak's Superliner cars harken back to an era when travel was a little less rushed and half of the fun was getting there. The Superliners allow for unspoiled views of the American landscape as it unfolds.
