In post no. 36 I showed an image of the Amtrak "station" in Sanderson, Texas on the Southern Tier bike route. Yeah, it was just a gravel parking lot.

I'm pleased to say with the recent infusion of "infrastructure" moneys, the station has been extensively upgraded. There's now an awning and a bench to sit on.



Amtrak still proudly advertises the following amenities @ Sanderson:
  • Unstaffed station
  • ATM not available
  • No elevator
  • No payphones
  • No Amtrak ticketing kiosks
  • No restrooms
  • Unaccompanied child travel not allowed
  • No vending machines
  • No WiFi
  • No baggage car service

Westbound, the Sunset Limited still arrives/departs in at a convenient scheduled 8:27AM. Eastbound, it arrives/departs at an awkward scheduled 10:46PM.
