Folks,
I have reserved a private charter train event for this late August and will be leaving FLL and the group of 509 people will be onboard heading to WAS for a regional basketball tourney and if we advanced, we will charter again up to BOS.
The 57 people are players, coaches, assistants and others. The rest are fans.
I was granted 3 PD40 Locomotive, 2 Baggage Cars, 3 Lounge Cars and 12 Coach Cars total. We will have a one hour stop Florence, SC for crew change and refueling.
Roundtrip price tag including everything cost us nearly $142,000.
Do you think this would be a fun trip? Do you think Amtrak will run on route where Silver Meteor goes? Could I request to run on FEC lne to save 6 1/2 hours off our time since it would cost more?
Look forward to this big charter train in our history.
