Special Notes:

  1. Day to travel to and from boarding city: 28+2 = 30 day Rail
  2. Student Contract
  3. Caveat: Sunset Limited will be operating from Orlando to New Orleans by the time this tour is real time.
  4. Consist (list of cars, see below) and Corporate Sponsors reason for power units: efficiency and NE navigation for the NorthEast with crew working the movement of train at night. Concerns are seats of your available coaches are not high capacity. Need paint job to be be determine.
  5. Eventually, with its own cars and power units, the Student Circuit will allow travel only during day with nights spent in cities so that more of the country is seen.
