Most Beautiful Train in the World narrated by Michael Gross

Appreciate the comments about the Daylight program I produced. It was a joy to find all the original color film and assemble the footage into a celebration of a GREAT train.
However, it's the people who were willing to tell their stories that brings life to any true documentary.
The program should be showing on about 150 PBS station though out the nation.

The bar car profits paid for the operating cost for each run??? How much were they charging for drinks??? also there must have been a lot of rich drunks riding this train. These figures just don't seem right, can you imagine the cost of fuel, taxes, wages, etc. etc. etc. I would certainly like to see the actual figures for this statement.

New digital camera is already on the shopping list. I eat my lunch on the front steps of the plant which are only 25' from the branch line. Theres a switch and a road crossing there so the trains always blow there horns when coming and stop right next to the plant to throw the switches.[;)][8D]

Just watched a great show on public TV. The Most Beautiful Train in the World narrated by Michael Gross from Family Ties and Tremmors fame. It was a history of the SP Daylight with fantastic colorized footage and specs on the train with interveiws from old passengers and SP train personal.
The bar car profits from each run paid for the operating cost of each run.(let's see AmTrak do that now!) I HIGHLY recommend looking for this special. Great veiwing.
P.S. Got to see three ConRail trains do switching manuvers this week at my new job.How COOl?, work, eat lunch, watch trains.LIFE IS GOOD! (jobs going GREAT too.)

We expect pictures!!! [;)]
