End of day 1

As today comes to an end, we are 38 miles from New Orleans. In a little while, we will be crossing Lake Pontchartrain. The bridge was built in 1884 and is 5.8 miles long. It's the longest railroad bridge in the United States and is the longest rail bridge in the world that goes over water.

So, I will say goodnight now and prepare to exit the Amtrak Crescent Train. It's been a fun day!

This is S-C-A-R-Y
