I would change likewise. When I take the train, I want to be on a train, not a bus!

The only further comment I would make is that to further divide the LD into short segments will make the LD travel even more difficult to schedule, make connections etc., and effectively end LD travel experience.

I have never seen the “amenity kit” promised the last time around. We did get the “free” wine, the small bottle.

Just to comment on the topic: Now that I’m retired, I have the luxury of time so that I can afford (in terms of time) to travel by train. While working, the train was only practical for me traveling Baltimore to Washington or NYC. Now, however, time wise, I can consider it for long...

Aha! Gallery Connector Car! I wondered what that car was which we had to go through to get to the Park Car.

Me too!

If they had done that in Savanah a couple of years ago, I would have had my cross country trip to LA to catch the cruise from LA to Ft Lauderdale. Unfortunately (as was previously reported) the switch froze and the unfroze while the Meteor was backing into the station and derailed it, resulting...

I write not to argue with your opinions as to the budget or what policies you think should be given priority. I merely want to point out that a "tax cut" is not a gift to the rich or anyone else. The money from which taxes are paid are not "public money" but rather the money earned by the...

My wife and I always had the mussels. They will be missed. While I like cod, I like salmon better.

Yes, the west coast of Canada is really a beautiful place. The exchange rate now is unfavorable. My sister lives In Brockville Ont and the healthcare situation there is tough as everything is in Ottawa or Kingston and with long waits for appointments etc, and her lack of mobility, it is a...

I am not surprised that the Ricky Mountaineer has been frequently recommended to you. Based on our trip and what I have gleaned about you from reports etc., I think it would be a good fit for you. The only down side I can see is related to Canada ( living in Canada and being paid in Canadian...

Thanks for the update.

Make sure your trip is not “bustituted” between Atlanta and New Orleans. There is track work going on periodically.

Sorry about the root canal. Winter Park is Susan’s favorite! Tough to miss.

My wife and I have always enjoyed the meals in the dining car and meeting new people. Since we are all on a journey, there is always something to talk about. I guess there is always the chance to run into negative people but my experience is that if you act friendly towed people, they almost...

As the others have said, thanks for the great report and pictures. Looking forward to doing this trip again. Loved it the first time and also really liked Halifax both times we were there.

How about reviving the L&N?

The big ? Is, how much of the fare is credited to F&B revenue???

This summer, my wife and I rode the Adirondack from Montreal to NYP. We came in the night before and stayed at the Queen Elizabeth (pricey but a real gem!) and right up the escalators from the station. Before going up, we checked with customer service and the man there said to meet him at 9:00...

On checking the status of 20 in Greenville tonight, I saw that it was noted that service between Atlanta and New Orleans on 19 and 20 will be by bus. Does anyone know the cause and how long this disruption will remain in effect?
