Last I had checked the Heartland has changed its consist do to Amtrak pulling the Hi-levels. At last check they have been replaced by Superliners. news on them returning is down (aka they probably won't)

Really? That is interesting. I admit I haven't seen the Heartland Flyer in sometime, but as of this past summer, It was still running Hi-Levels, but alot can change in that time. I'll have to check it out for myself, thanks for the heads up.
@tbob: Texas has tons of varying geography. The Hill Country is quite beautiful (especially in the Spring). I live in a fairly flat/hilly region in North Texas. The Hill Country is south central Texas. The FLAT land is West Texas and the Panhandle. In far West Texas is the Davis Mountains, a part of the Rocky Mountain System. I won't keep going, I think everybody gets the general idea!:wave:
