The train trip idea would be to have a "members only" special ran by Amtrak. The special could stop at a variety of places. The stop could be an hour long or more depending on the location. Members who could not afford to actually ride the special would have the opportunity to meet those riding on the special. Those riding the special might not be able to go the whole route but could choose a day or two or more depending on their particular circumstances. This would take a great deal of planning but it is something that is possible. A committee could be set up to make the plans with Bergie or another staffer in charge of the committee. A group of volunteers could phone conference (or do so in a chat room) together to make these plans. This group should include our neighbors to the north--Canada. There would also need to be a long range plan to involve Canada in the travels. One year the trip might follow the Texas Eagle route while the year after a route on Via. Then the third year back to the US and say the Coast Starlight route. Then again back to Canada for a different route on Via. A Convention could be held somewhere along the route . The key to making this happen and happen smoothly would be advanced planning. <br /> <br />Hopefully people will want to get involved in doing a trip/convention and will voice their opinion on such. ALL ABOARD [:D]
