Matt - Thanks for posting. I ride the Amtrak into NYC once per year, nice with some great views of the coast but what a beautiful ride that pacific coast must be. I have one more trip to the West Coast this winter. I sure hope I take some time to ride a few miles down the coast and catch that gorgeous view.......

What is the cost to the private car owner per mile behind Amtrak? Is it $1 or $2 per mile? I understand this charge is for locomotive, HEP, air, sanitary services, etc.

I love those private cars, What an adventure that must be, to tie onto AMTRAK and take off.
