[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] You might consider taking the Zephyr out to CA and the Builder on the return. More daylight for the best scenery that way - the climb up the mountains from Denver westbound is especially spectacular. Cincinnati is my all time favorite station. Although with just one train in the middle of the night, it is now mostly just a very good museum. But, it is well worth allowing some time to explore it during the day. As huge as it is, imagine a grand concourse extending over 17 tracks where the Imax theater now stands. Seven railroads had trains there with classic streamliners to all points of the compass. The murals in the rotunda are a real work of art. Sadly, when the concourse was demolished, the murals on its walls were moved to the airport where, I understand, they are no longer visible to the public. It really is a 1933 art deco masterpiece. It is still a great place to start of train trip, just too bad it's not at a better time of day. [/QB][/QUOTE]
