| The view from
the Observation Lounge is wonderful. We can see all the way to the
locomotive at the front of the train. Just behind the steam locomotive
is hidden a diesel locomotive which pushes when the going gets tough.
Shortly after taking this
picture, the sales pitches begin. First, the bartender arrives with
the morning drink specials. He drills these until at least half the
car pays him to go away. He'll return every half hour for the remainder
of the trip - although not to our seats.
A female employee arrives
to pump tours at the Grand Canyon. She returns every few minutes
for the next two hours to warn of dire consequences should you not pay
for a tour now. There is great controversy amongst our fellow passengers
as to whether to take the Basic or Deluxe Tours.
Where is my cocktail? |
