Wow, whaddya know?? An attraction like this that will actually visit the nearest home station (Spokane)??? I just hope it doesn't arrive in Spokane in the dead of night like the Empire Builder does. I don't know how excited I'd be, however, to see anything remotely related to snow and winter after our ridiculously harsh winter (all-time record snowfall among other things). Guess I might as well chance it, though!

And 40 cities in 24 weeks---that sounds like one of Traveler's AGR trips!!! :lol:

The train pulled into LAUS tonight on track 13. Security had one side fenced off and a Surfliner on track 12 blocked most of the other side. They have a couple of wheelchair lifts set out so maybe are planning on being open for train day.

Whooz took photos, see train day LA thread.

I resemble that remark!

40 cities in 24 weeks - and only 16,000 miles? :huh: I can easily do that in 1-2 weeks! :lol:

All aboard for 'Carol'

Over 30,000 people and 3-hour waits? That's Disney alright! National Train Day L.A. folks had it easy. Includes photo gallery with crowd, exterior, and interior views.
