I have a cover story in the March 8, 2009  NY Times Travel section about a wonderful cross-country train journey I took last month. I also shot the pictures - The Times has posted 35 of them online - and recorded passenger voices that the paper turned into a nice multimedia feature. Check it out:

I’ve posted many more photos of the spectacular coast-to-coast trip here:
