[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sbalax: [qb] Mr. Norman-- Here's a bit more to add to the story: The airport first opened in 1937 as Berry Field. It was named after Harry S. Berry, the Tennessee administrator for the Works Progress Administration. Frank in Sunny SBA [/qb][/QUOTE]BNA is a sentimental airport for me - for my first plane ride, my grandmother took me on Ozark Airlines from Clarksville, TN to Nashville - Berry field (all of 40 miles). Would have been in the late 50's and was a great DC-3. Interestingly there was a beautifully restored Ozark DC-3 parked at the Marthaton, Fl airport with its door open. I spotted it on a recent trip to the Keys. Anyone know its story? To answer Mr. Norman's question, certainly the routes with frequent service (California, Milwaukee, NEC could certainly be recommended - and in spite of CSX, I think I could include NEC extended to Richmond and soon to be Lynchburg (NS). For any friend I valued, I think some selectivity is needed in recommending LD trains. Certainly the Empire Builder, Starlight and maybe CZ would be at the top of the list. Don't think any Viewliner trains would make the cut until they did some serious maintenance work on the equipment (or had new cars) - including diners. Also the scenery does not compensate for other shortcomings as on western trains. I, of course, would take any of them - although my one trip on LSL was probably enough. [/QB][/QUOTE]
