Rode the Zephyr yesterday - the photographers were out in force! Good job, IRM!
I also rode Saturday, taking in all three segments. There were a logistical issue or two with host railroad BNSF, but those were resolved without too much delay.
Overall, though, I have to agree: IRM did a great job making this happen. My thoughts/observations:
- IRM's service on the train (car hosts, dining car staff, etc) were great! Let's hear it for these VOLUNTEERS!
- The trainset performed wonderfully. I find it amazing that a 70-year-old museum piece still looks and runs so well. And the train handling from the guys in the cab was in my opinion superb.
- Kudos to Amtrak, BNSF, UP, and of course IRM for putting this together.
