Randy Lundgren Date: 05/25/22 18:17 Re: Rocky Mountaineer Author: jayman Nice shots, maybe eventually one day we could see we could see a Canadian widecab geeps make that 4 units pulling a longer 20+ car Rocky Mountaineer on the Moffat and on the Hi Line/MRL in Montana like they do on the CP in Canada now that would be a sight to see maybe one day.

Date: 05/26/22 13:24 Re: Rocky Mountaineer Author: callum_out There's a review on Yahoo today, mostly favorable but like $1800-2300 for a 2 day trip is pretty
pricey. Coment on the train doing 35 mph was interesting along with several freight delays but with the note that no one seemed to mind the delays. Low end included beer and wine, high end an open bar. Includes one hotel night in Glenwood Springs. Out |
