Why wait for a year? You must get school breaks as in Christmas week. That would be a great time to do the Canadian across Canada. And it's half the price then compared with peak season. Four nights on the train and fly back. So plenty of time if you have a week off. Anyway, congrats on the new job.

Well..... If you can't take time to ride the trains, don't become a stranger on Trainorders.com. Always look forward to you postings.

Here's something to think about. Arrange a field trip to somewhere and travel by train. You're the principal! Boston makes a nice trip. Take #66 from DC, overnight to Boston. Spend the day there and then 67 back to DC. Works great if you can make the connections in DC. BTW, if you have a few hours in DC you can view some of the things in DC.

Great idea, John! Gonna have to try the field trip idea. There are many educational points of interest in the NEC!!

Glad for your opportunity. With a another year's income you can set some aside for that Canadian trip. You won't be disappointed. Look forward to seeing you out on the rails again in a year.

Thanks, Dave. I am excited about this experience, because it is different than anything I've done in the past administratively. But... I will miss my train riding!
