ADD ITEM TO CART TO SEE THE DISCOUNTED PRICE. 2nd BUILT TO ORDER ITEMS FROM LIONEL (BTO) (Ends March 2nd, 2020) Once again Lionel is “building to order” (BTO) their higher priced products. The past few years worked very well as most of you got the items you wanted and these items are no longer available thus assuring the value of your purchase. As you can see in this price guide, some items are marked (BTO). This means “Built-To-Order.” Lionel expects us to order by March 2nd and they will “build to the quantity” we order. So what does this mean for you - it means you should order these items by March 2nd so we can include your order with ours. There is no reason not to preorder - you get early buy pricing and we don’t charge your credit card until it ships. If you need to order BTO items beyond March 2nd please call us and we will update you with the latest information. We will be ordering a few extras but they will go fast so if you miss the ordering deadline give us a call and we will let you know at that time if we can supply the item. ORDER NOW FOR BEST PRICING You can call in your order or order on line. Remember - order now to get the early buy prices. If you order now, we do not charge your credit card until the order ships so take advantage of the Early Buy pricing and “lock-in” delivery of the product. When comparing prices make sure to also compare shipping costs. Other Dealers charge actual shipping costs but our shipping charges are less than actual cost. We pay a large portion of the shipping cost for you so please remember to consider this in your comparison. OUR SHIPPING CHARGES ARE BELOW ACTUAL COSTS We look forward to hearing from you.

  • Riding an Amtrak Train Cross-Country: a Unique View of America
    Democracy Dies in Darkness Riding an Amtrak train cross-country: A unique view of America There I was, in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, looking down at the Colorado River. Animal tracks in the snow made a dotted line beside the water. But where, I wondered, were the bighorn sheep? The black bears? I pressed my nose to the glass and followed the tracks carefully, expecting — any second now — to see wildlife. I was in my 40th hour aboard Amtrak, nearly 2,000 miles into a 3,218-mile cross-country adventure. I’d packed five books, my laptop, several movies and hours of music, figuring that I’d have plenty of time to kill. But I hadn’t unpacked any of it. Instead, I was so enthralled by the landscape that I’d forgotten I was supposed to be bored. And at this moment, I was convinced that if I focused with all my might, I would spot an animal. Just then, the cafe car attendant yelled up from down below: “Other side!” As he sprinted up the stairs, a couple of us hurled ourselves to the right side of the car. “Did you see the elk?” he asked breathlessly. By that point, the elk were far behind us. I returned to my seat and resolved to enjoy the view, with or without giant creature sightings. But before long, the animal prints had lured my gaze back to the snow deep in the canyon, on the bank of the river. This wasn’t my first time in the middle of the Rockies.

  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.
