              Do you enjoy traveling by Private Luxury Rail or maybe you only heard stories.
 

Once the preferred mode of travel for most Americans, passenger rail offers a unique & relaxing, service-oriented travel experience-- characteristics seemingly lost amidst today's hurried and demanding schedule. However, not everyone settles for this impersonal status quo.

A handful of investors, passionate about private passenger rail and the nostalgia that comes along with it, have purchased some of the past's finest railcars. They have worked tirelessly to fully restore these gems of railroad engineering, making these cars aesthetically pleasing and even more comfortable than they originally were more than 50 years ago.

More importantly, they have been upgraded mechanically to comply with Amtrak's passenger service so that they may again ride the rails. By doing so, they are part of an exclusive group of less than 100 cars nationwide afforded the privilege to hook behind Amtrak.

 

 Are you ready to take the next step to make your dream trip come true. I can handle all details while you and your guests relax and enjoy the sites, sounds and expeiriences of private railroading.

 Are you in need of Experienced Rail Staff? Do you need a Chef, Servers or Car Attendant? Planning a trip but not sure of how to operate a Railcar? Do hook-ups, PNR's, switching, Watering, Fueling and finding supplies have you overwelmed?

Not any Chef will do. You need the experienced !!
Make just one call, then sit back and enjoy your trip. 


  

 

With over 9 years on the rails experience working many cars coast to coast. I bring reliable and stable services to an ever changing environment. 
With over 130,000 miles logged in 2006 & 2007 alone, I have had the opportunity to make all right contacts across the nation.  Where ever your planing on traveling I can assist you with information and directions.  Do you need help planning your trip or just have questions, I would be happy to help you find the right solution.
 
My 2009 season is booking now so please call to confirm my availability.

I can ensure the Railcars are fully stocked, fueled and serviced including all the paperwork needed and contacts made before the train ever leaves the station. While enroute I use my 25 years of Culinary knowledge to deliver statisfying healthy meals. I have a staff of servers and car attendants ready and on call. There are 2 ways to fix a train related problem. Do you know the right way?
You need the experienced !!
 
Combined Services Added Value
I remain relaxed and focused on guest satisfaction keeping the guests calm and informed. Proper planning with the ability to be flexible are key in this business.
Providing a Combined Value: Cooking, Cleaning, Bartending, Guest Services, Mechanical abilities, Contacts around the Country, Car Attendant Services.
 
Working on a train is a completey different situation than anything you could imagine. The average Chef will run off after the first trip. Long hours coupled with an ever changing envionment topped with new problems arising every hour can cause undue stress. You need someone who will be there, not freak out or walk off.
 
 

Multi-tasking on different cars is the norm for me.
