The correct info is: Dinner Impossible; chef Robert is cooking for 160 people aboard the Siera Dinner Train.   NO mention about what motive power is pulling the train.

Food Channel @ 10:30 pm est.  channel 231 on DirecTV.   Just checked it out with my Tivo box.

I think they're cooking on one of these...right in the old coal shute!

An early Birthday present from my wife!  She seems to have developed an alergy to trains of late..

It is said that Alco celebrated the building of the first Yellowstone by serving dinner to 12 people seated in the firebox, the largest ever built.

Drinking from coal scoops?  Man have you Flipped your WIG!!!

I remember hearing about trying to squeeze 10 people inside a Volkswagon Beetle but 150 in a locomotive?  What size is the loco?  A U.P. cab forward?

Remember:  it's a luxury locomotive.  those 150 passengers will no doubt be reclining in fine Corinthian leather seats and sipping bubbly from crystal, . . uh, . . . coal scoops?

150 passengers INSIDE?  The loco?  Guess the price of fuel really is too high!  OUCH!

Will the 150 passengers be in the locomotive, or just the chef cooking dinner for them?  ;-)
