This was a two part trip. Part "A"
was a Dominion Rail Voyages owners and friends trip of eight days
on Amtrak, from New York to Cincinnati, Chicago and concluding at
Washington. It included a "rare mileage" side-trip from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga and return in the consist of the Cincinnati
Southern Railway's 2008 inspection train. Part "B" was a
one day trip for Jack Deasy and friends from Washington & Alexandria
to Williamsburg & Newport News and return.
While in Chicago, many of us rode CTA's elevated rail line around
the Loop.
This is a Brown Line train at the nicely restored Quincy station.

Lauren and her new friend Anna greatly enjoyed riding in the vestibule
of
MOUNT VERNON. The crossing of a bridge or trestle provoked some
excited "ooohs" and "aaahs" from these keenly
interested observers.

Long before railroads were invented and private railroad car travel
became fashionable,
