On a spring 2012 trip to New Orleans, our client was also a Culinary Institute of America gourmet chef and prepared all on-board meals. Some were almost too pretty to eat!     Departing New Orleans. The same dixieland band has played for seven different departures and the joy is felt by all, including the 94-year old gentleman in the doorway.

The NKP 765 came East in September, 2012 and some of our crew went out for an old-fashioned train chase. It wasn't the SP 4449, but it was GREAT!     Parked 50' from the cappuccino bar at Boston South Station, 10/5/2012. 1000 people took photos during the 4-day stay, which was 20 years to the date after our first Boston visit.

NYC 3 brings up the markers on the special Amtrak display train at Steamtown National Park in Scranton, PA, Labor Day 2012     Sometimes strange obstacles force cancellation of trips. In this case, Hurricane Sandy deposited a small ship on the tracks--along with thousands of trees and flood waters. We never came close to making it to Savannah because all rail service into and out of New York was cancelled for a week in Oct. 2012.
