Kinda' cool this forum was just talking about this subject. Well, here's your chance to be a part of it.

I am interested in what people (YOU) feel about Hollywood making a movie that depicts Amtrak as an enjoyable, if not magical experience? Would it boost ticket sales?

I am curently working on creating a script for just a such film. Please feel free to write me with any comments you think might help.

Also, does anyone know the consist for the North Coast Hiawatha or Empire Builder during the summer of 1979, particularly the dome cars?

The film begins during Amtrak's early days and moves foward to what Amtrak offers today. This can't be a 129 minute commercial for Amtrak, but hopefully we'll have a heart warming mu***ype film that begins and ends on Amtrak and through it, may inspire people to give Amtrak a try.

I am also looking for early (1971-1980's) INTERIOR photo's of Amtrak that do not already appear on well traveled web sites. I would be $ grateful for any photo's, no matter the quality. Family shots would be great to.

Also, does anyone know how to contact Ed Stone (retired Empire Builder)? I would like to include him in this if I could as well as "crew ten"(I do have the web site for this group).

Thanks for your time and interest. I truly would welcome everyone's comments and suggestions. Please feel free to email me at [e-mail]
