Ray, first of all, welcome to Trainboard. This is a great place to be. Second, wow, isn't your trip sold out yet? What ails the folks there in the midwest? 1225 is one of my personal favorites, since I once had my hand on her throttle for about an hour. If I wasn't living in Oregon I'd be there in a heartbeat! Good luck with the sales. C'mon, guys, sign up!
