| I'm a big fan of ski trains, & would love to see more of 'em. I do an annual trip from Philly to Jay. Yes, it takes longer but with advance purchase its half the cost of driving, you get to sleep, and have a bottle of wine when you want to. When its time to eat, you can even call ahead and have dinner waiting for you at a station up the line! The only drawback is that AMTRAK rules do not allow gambling... you have to wait until you are off the AMTRAK mainline before starting serious card play. And when staying at Jay, there is really no where else to drive to unless hitting the backcountry for the day. |
