My grandson Timmy is in love with trains. He has oodles of HO trains and is practically in vapor lock every time we see a freight train with a spectacular bright engine. I have promised to take him on a passenger train voyage and although I've lusted after the Venice Simplon Orient Express for eons, I'm not prepared to spend that kind of money to entertain a 6-yr old. I'd still like to travel first-class (my idea of roughing it is a Holiday Inn with no elevator and a limited wine list), I live in Minneapolis and I imagine a trip out West would be my best choice since the scenery would impress me while Timmy is focused on the "train stuff". I read an article that indicates the location of the accomodations on the train are important (kinda' the equivalent of making sure your hotel room isn't near the elevator or pool). Is there a particular train I should select for our adventure and is there a particular car/compartment location I should request (or avoid)? I don't wanna spend a whole bunch of money only to discover I've been naive and am stuck in the "cheap seats". LOL Help!!!
