Amtrak Announces New Route!

[Ryan]

I read it on Facebook, so it has to be true!

How many AGR zones will that be? :giggle:

They could have at least been inventive and said some mysterious benefactor had funded the Sunset East.

Glad to read that Amtrak reached an agreement with Santa, to handle his always increasing package delivery business.

So, if my Christmas gifts don't arrive until January 17th, I can blame it on Amtrak? :giggle:

Oh, I also read that Superman is negotiating a station stop at his Fortress of Solitude.

Dome cars return.

Dome cars return.

Funny you should say that.

Look what I saw today on the Zephyr.

Anyone know where the photo is from? Looks like it could be taken somewhere on the Vermonter route, perhaps? I assume

it's a real photo since they credit a commercial photo vendor.

Even I would not fall for this April Fools Joke--- But would have been very susceptible if the announcement had restoration of the Floridian Chicago-Evansville-Nashville-Chattanooga-Atlanta-Macon-Orlando-Miami. That would be a dream come through. Note: Route skips Indianapolis and Louisiville due to awful track conditions.

French Fries will now be served with EVERY meal plated by Amchefs!

If you have to ask ... But I'm not asking - I'll be on the first run, second run, ... I want to meet the big guy himself!

Er, traveler, you are the big guy.

True, but usually I pass myself going the opposite way!

That will happen on those horseshoe turns.

And toast!

And on this new route, cookies & milk.

And a present will be served with every meal! :giggle: But they won't serve venison!

Nah, I think we'd have to hang a stocking outside our room (sleeper) or from the luggage rack (coach) to get a present.

I'd probably get a lump of coal anyway!

Maybe the locomotive used will be PM 1225! :giggle:

Do you get extra AGR points if you bring a bag of Purina Reindeer Chow?
