I too have been thinking about a nice train ride to somwhere... just to capture the ambiance of an old time trip..... and maybe get a chance to grab a few shots. So, I entered a to and from trip, and got a price, which as you said, was reasonable. Then, I looked at the price with a bed.. and HOLY CATFISH!!!! My fare jumped from $279 to $1,125.00..... for TWO FRICKING NIGHTS SLEEPING in what essentially is a bunk bed with a curtain around it. Does anyone pay those outrageous sleeper prices? Just think of it..... for the price of a new M6, you can sleep twice in an Amtrak bunk. I was STUNNED!!! No wonder Amtrak is gushing red ink. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffery Smith" <jls@runbox.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> > with no x-ray or para-military security guards.
