AWESOME ! Thanks a million for taking the time to share this GEM..... Well done...
60 bucks a ticket for supper , a train ride , and history lesson, and an unforgettable experance sounds like a wonderful deal to me.. I say it cheep..... a REAL bargain.
Kirby, these must be the units that were hauling specials during the 1980s in the green-white Southern scheme. Though the RJ Corman paint scheme is attractive, it would have been "historically cool" if the units could have remained in Southern colors. I also noticed the blunt-end observation car behind the locomotives. That definetly looks like one of the "250 series" cars used on the Atlantic Coast Line's hotshot, "The Champion" from back in the day. Cool, rich rolling pieces of history.
It my be expensive, but you got alot of stuff. I thought it was a interesting trip! I would love to go again, but it will be awhile since it's kinda far for us.
I rode that train once. Nice trip, good food.

They're expensive as fuck. My brother used to work on the Dinner Train and it was 60 bucks a ticket WITH DISCOUNT.

Very classy! That well tuned K5LA horn is very melodic. Which railroad did the FP7 come from?
