Came across this nice film on the Super Chief. Odd soundtrack but lots of great images and old film of the trains.

That was neat. Sure looks like a great way to travel back then. Maybe a silly question but does Amtrak have different levels of service, i.e., 1st class, coach? Just wondering if they have class of service even close to what the Chief had to offer.
Thanks,

Sorta, For overnight trains they have coach and sleepers. Sleepers is Amtrak's equivalent to 1st class. But they don't like calling it that because it is considered elitist.
Nice find ! Good thing I could turn the volume down.....LOL

with the talk of UP, Santa Fe, etc, having weak times, maybe they should get back into passenger service, , give Amtrak compo..of coarse Amtrak would fold,,,,
Great find. Thanks for sharing.
