Who cars\es if its on the "official Amtk list" or not. The list can be changed at the drop of a hat, or it could be an Amtk CAlif train.
I thjnk its a great idea. Problems are...
1. it would have to be heavily advertised for business travel.
2. The service would have to be extraordinarily good. I Mean pampering ppl like airline 1st class.
3. you'd need to have cars with 8 bedrooms, 2 roomettes. Biz ppl dont want a lousy nights sleep
4. Provisions for early boarding, late leaving the train car, with some sort of food service available during sitting.
5. it would have to be good enough that biz ppl would prefer it to the airplane/hotel thing. The airplane/hotel/biz meeting thing really sucks, if you've done it a lot.
OK, chances are it will never happen, but i think its a good idea if anyone had the money to spend on doing it correctly. If Amtk, as we know it, ever tried it, it would die from lack of advertising, and total inability to make it a relaxing experience
