That sounds like such a cool thing to do. I love trains. I'm sorry the timing doesn't work for Stamford, but I'm looking forward to follow along on your trip... and if you get easterly enough, meeting up!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Not covered by a USRail pass, but if you ever get the chance, take a day-trip on the Cumbres & Toltec narrow-gauge railroad: [link] . I had a wonderful time with them.
I've also heard good recommendations for the Durango & Silverton railroad, but I haven't been on that one myself (yet): [link]
And someday I want to take the Rocky Mountaineer: [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was just talking about the Rocky Mountaineer with my dad. I do want to slip in an Acela ride this trip, I think, but I mostly want to cover a lot area so I don't know that I'll have much room for other non-Pass trains. Intriguing idea, though!
I do expect to get out near you, JenP! I want to kind of circumnavigate the available railway system as best I can. It's 10 segments in 30 days which has a lot of possibilities as, for example, the Zephyr from Calif to Chicago is one segment (which is how I originally planned to start this trip when it was entirely theoretical because I had never taken the Zephyr, but now I have so maybe I will head in a different direction first. SO MANY OPTIONS
