My favourite Railfan thing to do in my advanced years is the "dinner
trains" .... often pulled by steam. Like the "Flamingo" 3 hour dinner
trip behind an ex-L&N 4-6-2 Pacific. Or just to the south a few miles
My Old Kentucky Dinner Train in Bardstown. After touring the odd whiskey
distiller (Bardstown is a hub for bourbon) jump on the R.J. Corman RR
for a two hour trip and a gourmet lunch. They also offer some special
evening deals - like a bourbon trip and a "Murder Mystery" trip. The
Corman RR is definitely a short line having 30 miles of track and is a
working railroad providing freight service in addition to the groceries.

If you're going to Florida for Dizzy World - have you considered the
"Auto Train"? Board you and your tribe w/auto in Lorton, VA (Washington
D.C. area) and ride the 18 hours to Orlando. Get the kids worn out with
Mickey Mouse then railfan on the way home.

... America, where if you put mayo on a potato it becomes salad.
