                                The Georgia 300
                                        
Ah, the Georgia 300 [1].

[This is my picture of the Georgia 300. There are many like it, but this one
is mine.] [2]
 [3] 

This is how you travel. From the Georgia 300 platform at the rear of the car:

[So this is what the view from a whistle stop campaign looks like.] [4]
 [5] 

to the dining room near the front:

[Don't let the multiple dining utensils frighten you—just remember the order
of use is always start with the outside and work your way in.] [6]
 [7] 

and everything in between the two:

[The best seat in the house—I mean car.] [8]
 [9] [There's nothing quite like lounging in a well appointed den moving at
60 mph.] [10]
 [11] [Three staterooms to the right, and the dining room at the far end.
There's quite a bit packed into a 74′ train car.] [12]
 [13] 

A person could certainly get spoiled traveling this way. How can you not like
the custom China plates?

[Don't worry—George has you covered.] [14]
 [Original dinner ware from the Georgia Railroad.] [15]
 

Or even the China cabinet?

[I would expect to see something like this at Biltmore, not on a train.] [16]
 [17] 

On the down side, it's not cheap [18].

And four hours is not nearly enough time to enjoy the ride. Four days is more
like it (and yes, I'm totally jealous of Tom).
