Private car chartered for "special guests" from Boston to Chicago.
HW, thank you.

Yo, Clem...
Keep these comin'! I love sharing the morning with you...vicariously!
If you're ever in Davison, MI (exit 145, I-69/M-15), have lunch/dinner at Whitey's restaurant...famous for their fish dinners, but an extensive menu. It sits right next to the CN mainline @ the M-15 crossing. Lots of traffic to shake the premises!

Clem, that looks fantastic and what enjoyable retirement should be like for me someday. Almost as good as it was sharing a table at Stockyard express’s customer appreciation day, having a Coke with you . Sometime I’ll have to see you for a coffee and muffin there.
Do you think the regular and recurring Amtrak passengers get excited when they see coffee shop video guy the same way we get excited when you post a video from the coffee shop?🤔
Clem- what's with the expensive looking fencing and sidewalks at the crossing? The rest of the area is wide open.
Looks like someone's crazy idea to "improve" safety.

I had to ask around for that answer, seems the railroad did that on their own. Its a safety thing to slow the pedestrians down. To me it looks like putting up a gate in field without a fence. Not to mention who is going to shovel the snow out
Was wondering what happened to you Clem. Thought maybe you gave up coffee. It's been a while since your last video.
Ron Ive been taking video's but having trouble getting them to computer. So here is another from same day. I finally got my youtube channel back, I will try posting them in there and then hopefully follow the directions to get them here instead of a link.

Get that guy to move his truck out of the shot. 
Nice videos Clem. Really enjoyed them. Thank You!!
Clem,
Your excellent videos always remind me of how interesting it is to be trackside and watch the trains go by and, especially, how enjoyable it is to ride on an Amtrak train. Due to the pandemic, I haven't done either for almost two years...

Melgar,
I appreciated your comment regarding an Amtrak ride. To me, it is the easiest way to bring back, that special and not easily understood by others......” Sense of Trains”. Go for a ride again soon, its food for the soul.
Nice!

I thought Amtrak was not allowing this practice anymore.

Amtrak management has relaxed some of their previous policies about "absolutely no private car moves", thus under the "right conditions", private cars are being handled on some of Amtrak's trains.
