They’ve announced it in VIA (Don’t care) CNW (Don’t Care) CN Tuxedo black/white (LOVE IT, NEED THE SKYTOP) and Chessie Steam Special (OH SLAG YESS!!!).
Way out of my usual era, but I’m going to have to get the Chessie Safety Express dome.
The most interesting excursion I ever rode was as dishwasher in the kitchen of the big dome on the Safety Express between Grand Rapids and St. Joseph, Michigan. 'worked alongside a couple of veteran Illinois Central diner cooks, George and Ben.
You don’t realize just how much one of those cars rocks when you hit a rough grade crossing at speed until you’ve been drenched from the armpits down with dishwater. Repeatedly.
That trip was an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world.
