Single level trains are still running all "Heritage" diners with the exception of one prototype viewliner diner (original batch, not v2) that was put in service. It has been on the LSL pretty regularly for a while, but I've never been in it. |

The railfan trip that they wouldn't let you board. You posted here about it and I've been ragging you about it ever since because the story is hilarious and ridiculous all at the same time. |

What I've shared is that I arrived with minutes to spare, and the guard was confused about the tickets and didn't let me board. It doesn't strike me as particularly funny or ridiculous, but perhaps you are easily amused. |
