Cassano's Pizza in San Clemente, CA: decent eats, looking right out onto the Surf Line at San Clemente Pier. Best at sunset. Oregon Trail Cafe in Glenns Ferry, ID: fabulous down-home food, and large portions for the money. Front tables look right across the street at UP's main line and helper pocket. If not idling right across the street, helper(s) are out shoving an eastbound to Ticeska or beyond, or a westbound up Medbury Hill. Harwood House at Quinns, MT: great seafood, steaks, soups, sandwiches in a rustic log lodge. View across the highway to MRL where trains pop out of a rock-faced tunnel and mountain sheep/goats can often be spotted high above. Patrino's in Canmore, ALTA. Somewhat pricey but good Italian and other eats, right against the CP right of way with clear views of trains approaching and passing. Spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery all around.
