Yes there were. I never said who was on the train because I didn't know yesterday. It's still a "private charter" and a "special train" according to my source and he was on the train riding in the car yesterday.lee45174 wrote:RA and I & O officials were aboard

It's a beautiful car outside but is 100X better inside. I had the priveledge to ride on it when it was on the 1st Northern Arrow. It's awesome going thru a town on the rear end and waving to everybody while eating an ice cream bar.

The first Northern Arrow had the Georgia 300 in place of the CH.
CH was there the second year.

That's only $1,000/person/day - anyone wanna go on a joy ride and split the cost?

Or for about the same price I could have a week-long railfan vacation anywhere in the Midwest. Really, that's a tough call... ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](https://mail.railroadfan.com/phpbb/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
