Bought 1st class tickets in - what the website says is - a new first class train car. The train car itself was old. Okay, i can live with that. Part of the allure is the age of the train. But the seats were old, too!!! They were not nice, new, plush seats as decribed on the website. They may... More

I took my 3 children(11,10,&7) on the train and it was wonderful. They enjoyed the outdoor flat car and snacking in the mail car. They also enjoyed switching the seats back and forth. This is something we would definitely do again!
