    Private cars are: 1. Frisco (SLSF) 'Cimarron River,' 14-roomette sleeper for the Texas Special. Blt by Pullman-Standard 1948 2. Milwaukee Road Super Dome-Lounge for the Olympian Hiawatha and Twin Cities Hiawathas, Pullman-Std, 1952. No number. 3. Union Pacific 10 roomette-6 bedroom "Pacific Series" sleeper for UP's Cities fleet, Budd 1950. Paint is wrong-should be all-yellow with gray roof. Amtrak charges ~20 first class fares to tow each car. All must comply with FRA safety standards.

    What was your favorite meal on this train? How many hours of uninterrupted sleep did you get on this train? You should take the Sunset Limted from New Orleans to La or before or any train west of Chicago since they have real meals cooked on the train for sleeper passengers, unlike the microwave food they have on the east coast train all trains east of Chicago except the Auto Train.

    I worked here for the majority of my young adult life in the early 2000s. This place was built up from blood, sweat, and tears from it's original owners Paul and Marietta Malrick. They put their heart and soul into it. I believe they bought I years ago from someone else, and they turned into what it was today. I didn't know it at the time, but those days are days I miss fiercely and didn't realize how special that place was.

    EXCELLENT VIDEO AS WELL AS MUSIC. The keyboards "touched" this off. By any chance, (due to your selection in music), are you familiar with a guy named Rainer Bruninghaus? ( As your piano selection reminds me of him). If interested, check out the guy, and all I have contact info. on him is ECM 1-1187 Recorded in 1980 in Oslo. I though you'd appreciate the similarity.

    MAN !!! If you're looking for a "targeted" response to this video...I'm your guy ! My Dad, step-mom and I rode rode the Denver / California Zephyr on the CB&Q, (as well as the U.P's "City of Denver".), out of Chicago back in the mid to late 60's and have such great memories.of those trips. The Budd-built Pullmans were exquisite, the fine dining, the REAL Vista-Domes, etc. were unparalleled. Oh, and did I mention that WE dressed for the occasion? WOW...LOOK at what you find on Amfrac today. I was considering re-tracing "The Good 'ol Days", but I'm sure I'd be horribly disappointed from what I've seen on other videos. The ambiance, customer service, and amazing quality service overall is gone. I'm just glad I'm 70 years old and waiting to die.

    The station manager is a prick.. He banned me from buying a 3 dollar ticket and boarding the train because I got off the wrong stop (1 stop after I was supposed to). This is despite me spending hundreds on rides that I never actually got a board due to timing issues, and Amtrak being constantly late.. I don't know what to say about them, they are there in the most critical times but just as quickly they turn their backs against you. Amtrak really upsets me at times, they're about as mature as a 2nd grader

    Why does Amtrak keep the train so far back and make people walk a long distance. They do this in a lot of stations. No wonder people don't like to travel by train.

    probably because some trains are super long. Red Cap service is available in some larger stations to provide a ride to and from the train. It can be a long walk, especially lugging all your gear!
