Hey there.

For those of you that already selected Vista Dome, please note that I just realized that the 5% discount is only for Standard Coach and Open-Air cars only.  So if that changes your mind on which car you want, please let me know.  (Personally, I don't think the $1.50 makes that much of a difference).

Thanks!

We are really sorry to say but we are going to have to cancel our trip and reservations for the gathering. I’m still having trouble with my back and my doctor said he strongly recommends we not go. Going to miss all our friends. Have fun.

   Adam, Linda and I have purchased 2 tickets for the Dome car. Thanks.

I’m signed up for the dome.

Just a reminder, tickets for this Train ride, should you want to do it, should be purchased as far in advance as possible because they can sell out.  As of this posting, 7/19/2023, there are only 19 tickets remaining in the "Dome Car"

I'm not sure if someone forgot to reply to this thread to tell me they booked tickets, but as of now (8/21/2023) there are only 3 tickets remaining in the Dome car.  So if you didn't already book a ticket and want one (or two or three) in the Dome car, you better hurry!   

If you can't get into the Dome car, there are still plenty of seats in the other cars on the same train. So you will still be on the same train as the everyone in the Dome car, just in a different car.

Just purchased 2 of the last 3 tickets for the dome car for Kim and I!

Mario

Just booked 2 for the train ride for the Crown Coach. 

Jeff

Booked our tickets for the train ride.

Are there separate tickets for the trolley?

The trolley was instead of the train, but so many people were picking the train that we pulled it from the agenda
