In The City of New Orleans, on The City of New Orleans, and listening to The City of New Orleans

In case that statement was confusing, The City of New Orleans is the name of the train route between NOLA and Chicago. The City of New Orleans, which is about the train, is one of Willie Nelson's greatest hits.

The view was interesting. We went over wetlands and what I assume was saltmarsh. At points it looked like we were over open water. I couldn't see the rail, or what it was on, from the observation car, it just looked like we were on open water. There were houses on stilts and little boat covers and floating docks nowhere near land.










I was surprised to see a Pizza Hut. I hadn't realized that I hadn't seen any chain or brand name that I'd recognized for hours. I saw some old downtowns near the rail line that looked abandoned, with trailer parks just out of town.

A guy in the corner had a whole photography command center set up, with one camera suction-cupped to the glass. He had another he talked to and waved to on a selfie stick. I was in a chunk of his b-roll.

And finally, a reveal of the pajamas I bought down in NOLA because of the 'mystery water' incident:
