Luxury train travel in the U.S. a bust? Train cars for sale

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Luxury train travel has a small but important role to play in any country with a reasonably developed rail network - and so should be successful in the USA with a properly considered route / service offer.
Why did GrandLuxe fail? Perhaps it overextended itself; I remember a proud but perhaps understandable boast that they had managed a journey on every day of the year.
It is not just hindsight to say that I would have begun services with a modest brochure, and waited for trains to be running at capacity before adding to it.
In any event, I hope that some entrepreneur can see the beenfit in investing in perhaps the best cars to offer some brochured trips as well as providing them for private charter to corporations or individuals.
