Consider joining us for a relaxing and memorable trip behind Amtrak’s famed Coast Starlight, from Los Angles to Seattle and return. Our three-car private charter will consist of ex-Milwaukee Road Business Car Montana, ex-Santa Fe 10-6 Sleeper Palm Leaf and ex-Santa Fe Buffet Lounge Car Acoma. Enjoy a beautiful ride up the California coast behind Amtrak’s Coast Starlight as our trip takes us through the Bay Area, the Cascades, the Willamette Valley, Portland and finally to the Emerald City of Seattle. Great company, great scenery and great food!
