I took a great trip a week ago out east on the Capitol Limited, Federal and Lake Shore Limited and have posted a trip report and pictures for anyone interested on my website. You can access it right from the front page. Enjoy! www.geocities.com/coachseats

Great report! I really liked the Boston part. There is always a great Railsale there but never knew what to do once there. My son has friends there so I had been checking the cost for him on the LSL and all through Sept. it had been $28 round trip from ROC to BOS!! Now I can watch the sale for my self.

That was a first class trip report, coachclass! I enjoyed reading it.
My only criticism is that it would be nice if you could remove the colored lines that periodically cross the text.
I gotta look into this rail sale thing.

CoachClass, you took the same 3 trains I took on my last trip about a month before your trip!!! I would have rode a total of 5 trains as I live near Buffalo, NY, but due to Hurricane Isabel, my first two trains were cancelled! BUMMER, ain't nothing worse than a 7 hour bus ride when you're supposed to be on a train!!! I invite everyone to check out my travelogue riding the same 3 trains, I'll give you a quick synopsis here and you can check out the travelogue for the story and photos:
I visited the following: Sandusky, OH - Cedar Point Amusement Park Washington, D.C. - Sightseeing Boston, MA - Railfanning/Sightseeing
Any questions or comments are welcome, and CoachClass, very nice work on your travelogue!

GD, how many times have you been to Cedar Point in your life?

"GD, how many times have you been to Cedar Point in your life?"
I've been to Cedar Point every year for the last 12 years. I worked there in 2001 as a Marketing Assistant (Was my internship for college). I've used Amtrak to get to/from CP 8 times. My first Amtrak trip on July 23rd, 1996 was Buffalo to Sandusky, OH on #49 to visit Cedar Point, I though it would be something different since I had yet to ride Amtrak, now I'd rather take the train there more than any other mode of travel!
