Shame about those wonderful VistaDome cars. I understand that the Canadian roads still use them and are spectacular to ride in the Rockies. Shame that our RR service is so miserable compared to other nations.   

An interesting sidelight is that AMTRACK runs on tracks owned by the freight carriers and they do not maintain the trackage as well as it should so any problems AMTRACK has one has to go to the track owners for legal relief in case of accident and such.

I digressed from the original question---sorry.
