No Time to Stop and Smell the Flowers

Amtrak’s westbound Southwest Chief has places to go and little time to waste in getting there.

So it can’t afford to stop at the Metra station in Hinsdale, Illinois, so everyone can stop and admire the flowers or the flowering trees that brighten the platform.

The next stop for No. 3 will be in Naperville, Illinois, and then it is on to numerous other stations en route to Los Angeles.
