Digging deep in my memory banks....I vaguely recall a couple more of so-called 'piggyback operator's' in the earliest days of Amtrak. One was Four Winds Tours, which sold escorted all-inclusive tours on "private trains", which in reality were space on regular Amtrak trains, sometimes with exclusive occupancy of a car or two. This was a carry-over from the pre-Amtrak days done the same way...
Another operator was DePorter-Butterworth Tours, although I believe they limited their operation not to Amtrak, but to selling space in their own private cars regularly carried on The Rock's Peoria Rocket and Quad City Rocket, until The Rock's demise...
And then there was the Reno Fun Train I believe chartered from Amtrak.
Perhaps there were some more I forgot about......
