I think that excursion trains are in general a good thing. Along with tourist lines they fill a vital role in this country in teaching the public what train travel was like, and giving them a little glimps as to what they are missing. As much as I hate to say. the Best program running is Union Pacific's. Two very well maintained steam locomotives and a fleet of what are now rare and signifigant diesles. If you are lucky to ride one of these trains, you are in for a rare and delectible treat. Then the crews working out of the Brooklyn Roundhouse in Portland also do a bang up job. But are hamstrung by sky high insurance. But Doyle and the boys do good job of putting on a spectacular show for the fans when they are out on the road. As a whole Excursions are a vital part of the railroad industry. They generate good PR for railroading, and serve to connect the public with railroading's past. James
