Stephenson's Rocket (at the Science Museum?).
Compare this with the Rocket as she is now. Note the funnel and tubes connected to it. When was she altered???

Last time I travelled by Amtrack they had very large reclining seats that are soooooo comfortable. They have a conductor to every coach and a comedian serving in the buffet car. The only problems with the California Zephyr I found were they were very slow (70mph max) poor punctuality and only one train a day.
