My adventure aboard the finest train ever to travel; riding the NYC-3 Portand behind the 4449 Daylight from Owosso to Chicago!

Thank you for Lovett Smith and his beautiful family. I am forever a better person for having met such a wonderful family. The trip into Chicago was amazing. We came in while a Sox game was starting. Several people on the car considered hoping off the slow ish moving train car to catch the game, but that would be illegal. So no one did that.
"To dine while traveling on a train car adds flavor to the dish, a depth to taste, a crystal clear experience." Me.
Thank you.

Private Rail Car Dining in Cincinnati; a Literal Night Out On the Town.

Cincinnati, Ohio is a hidden emerging gem and evolving into the new millennium; packed with treasures, some new, and some still alive from Cincinnati's most vibrant era, 1850-1950. Cincinnati was an integral hub of passenger and commercial rail travel; growing out of this rich history is the Cincinnati Railway Company. Operating many different private rail cars the Cincinnati Railway Company offers dinner train excursions like the one this Sunday, August 2nd, which will be a three hour dinner tour (Enough of the Gilligan's island) with
four courses served on a private rail car as it travels through town. Along with two vintage private rail cars there is a cash bar car.

IMHO this is one of the most exquisite opportunities about living in Cincinnati. Our rich railroad history is embedded in the structure of our country and private rail cars remain a luxury experience that the Cincinnati
Railway Company has made available to all of us.

An Affordable Private Rail Car Experience

The private rail car dinner excursion in Cincinnati is a way to enjoy a private rail car with out paying the thousands of dollars it normally
costs to rent a private rail car. For only about 75 dollars a person; there is not a finer dinner setting than aboard a private rail car.
Travel the world over and you will not find a better experience. Float on a dinner boat on a river in an exotic country, dine exquisitely on a private rail
car in the United States, these are the things experienced world travelers look for as quality experiences while traveling the world. Right here in your home town a national treasure has its doors open to you; although you should bring a camera you will not need any help remembering a dinner on a private rail car.

Beautiful train stations that fell to the wreckig ball.

Those funny English chaps made a
seriously awesome train car cash video.
Although no one is hurt in this video, this material might not be appropriate if you lost someone in a car crash.
