[QUOTE]Originally posted by Urdahere: [QB] From my first experience on a train, a steam engine passenger from Hancock, NY to Susquehanna, Pa., then to taking the last trip of the Phoebe Snow in 1966. I have always loved trains. My wife and I lived in Japan back in the late '60's and we experienced the percision clockwork schedules of their rail system. In 2001 I was back in Japan and had the ride of my life on the Tokaido Shinkansen Bullett at 158 MPH from Tokyo to Osaka. What a beautiful ride. We took the CountryLink XPT from Sydney to Brisbane and again we had an incredible experience. Now we're up in our years and tired or driving. Our daughter is in the Atlanta area we've been looking at the Amtrak from either Syracuse, NY or driving to Philadelphia and picking it up there. I came across this forum and have been reading every post that has to do with that route and other Amtrak routes. Interesting to say the least. Everybody had different taste and experiences when it come to coach or roomettes. With gas, hotels and meals from the Syracuse area to Atlanta and back, Amtrak is a deal until you add in a roomette. Even then it's still not too bad. I'm tending to spend the daughter's inheritance and go for the sleeper, but the wife say's that she can sit the whole way and even eat her meals out of a cooler. Help me convince her to go top shelf. I really would like to hear of some recent great experiences on the Philly to Atlanta and back route. How was coach? How was a roomette? Meals. What was the menu. Prices if we chose to go coach and eat in the dining car. What about the lounge car. Anything going on there? We're looking at an October date so for now, I'll sit back and hope for some comments. Thanks in advance. Joe from the Finger Lakes of NY [/QB][/QUOTE]
