[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] Interesting train consists, GBN. The airline strike the summer of 1966 was certainly memorable. I had been working a summer job at a duPont plant in what to was to become my retirement town, 40 years later. That summer I took numerous train trips with my new found wealth. One of which was on a strike swollen Humming Bird from Flomaton, AL to Cincinnati. I remember being bitterly disappointed that by then the much reduced consist (but still with observation car) National Ltd. was sold out. So I had to settle for a roomette on C&O's George Washington. Yes, Train Lady - you have to pay mega bucks now to get personal service that was standard on railroads then. But then, how hard would it be for the attendant on the Starlight parlour car to bring your drinks to your seat and check on his passengers. Might even work in the first class Auto Train lounge (feeble attempt to keep on topic). Guess that's not in their job description. [/QB][/QUOTE]
