Q:
Does anyone know if they sell tickets to just view the retired trains in the yard?
A:
We do offer a ground pass to see all equipment in our grand junction train yard and visit our depot.
Q:
For Valentine's Day dinner or Dinner in the Diner, do you tip in addition to the advance ticket purchase?
A:
It is up to you. We tipped but I don’t think it is required or suggested.
Q:
Also plan on sitting in one of the coach cars (cheaper) Which seat are best? Middle of the car, or towards the end? TIA
A:
It doesn't really matter. If you sit at the back of the train you get a longer ride...tee hee chuckle chuckle!
