Carrying a torch - Just when thought the coverage of the Olympics
was finally over. Here are some photos that you probably haven't
seen yet. The Union Pacific Torch Train carried the Olympic Flame
more than 3,200 miles across 11 states. We've created a photo
gallery of the UP Press Photos of the trip. You can view them at:

New Railroad Lists - As some of you know, I run a railroad forum
on Delphi. It's done well, but there are some rumblings that they
may have to start charging for access. I don't want to do that, so I
have created some new railroad lists on Yahoo. They're all Free,
and signing up for them is very easy. For all the details visit:

City through the lush wine country of the Hudson Valley and brings you

scenic western shoreline of Lake Champlain, a year-round fishing and
boating paradise, and a particularly dramatic sight during fall foliage
season.

Amtrak California - California Dreams -
http://www.amtrak.com/destinations/california.html
California — it's the glitz of Hollywood and the endless bohemianism of
San Francisco; it's the serenity of Big Sur at sunrise and the
metropolitan rush of Los Angeles; it's where advances in high technology
take place in the shade of ancient redwood trees, where orange groves
are as plentiful as vineyards.

Amtrak Cascades - http://www.amtrak.com/trains/cascades.html
(Eugene, OR - Portland, OR - Seattle, WA - Vancouver, BC) Wherever you
want to go in the Pacific Northwest, the Amtrak Cascades will make
business a pleasure and your free time more fun. The Amtrak Cascades is
a distinctively sleek, European-designed train that's filled with
amenities — you'll have space to work and time to take in the sights as

shopping at the Mall of America in Minnesota -- Amtrak gives you the
time and the luxury to make your Midwest adventure a life-long memory.

and presidents. Amtrak will take you to your destination in high-speed
comfort and afford you the leisure to put your mind to our nation's
living history.

scenery. From the train view the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges,
Puget Sound and the Columbia River. Who could not be moved by the sight
of snow-capped Mount Hood rising skyward near Portland? By letting
Amtrak trains take you, you'll be experiencing these natural wonders
while relaxing in your seat.

Amtrak South - Southern Hospitality -
http://www.amtrak.com/destinations/south.html
It's where jazz was born and where bluegrass fills the mountains; where
Grand Ole Opry singers are as legendary as NASCAR heroes; where Walt
Disney built his Magic Kingdom and Elvis built his Graceland. Let Amtrak
take you down south. Whatever your destination, your train ride down
South will give you time to relax and enjoy some real southern
hospitality.

Massachusetts to Portland, Maine with a magical seven-stop journey along
the New England shoreline.

(Washington, DC - New York, NY - St. Albans, VT) Let the Vermonter take
you to the scenic vistas of the Green Mountain State. The mountains are
full of popular ski resorts like Smuggler's Notch, Stowe and Sugarbush.
Specially designed baggage cars are equipped to carry your skis or bike
on baord. Vermont is for summer retreats, fall spectacles, winter
skiing, and healthy getaways for stressed urbanites. And if you're a

short getaway.
