Here is my video from Pownal curve, it isn't the greatest since it's hand-held. I have a few other locations but the sound is terrible so I need to do a bit of editing before I upload them.

I have a question about the dining car for the PTL train. Apparently there is a dining car as part of the consist, how do the riders get to it? Do they go through each others cars. or do they stop, get out and walk to the car at meal times?
I understand that most of the cars have self contained living arrangements, but how does the dining car fit in?

To reach the Diner,passengers walk thru the other cars,some cars have tiny"Kitchenettes"that you can make simple meals in
the car. (Tiny as a 707 galley) :wink:

I saw an ad this evening; Bill Green apparently got a ride on the Pine Tree Limited and it'll be shown on Bill Green's Maine this Saturday night on Channel 6 in Portland (and probably Channel 2 in Bangor as well).
