Is taking the Airodonack with the GN dome car (that should be where it belongs, in front of the transition sleeper on the Empire Builder, where it started out life) worth going to the east coast and back? I live in MSP, and have parents (I am 13, and a HUGE railfan), but my parents are saying "the train takes too long, I live train travel, and because it takes a while, I will take a stupid plane, and sit kn an airport for two hours, then a plane for five hours, then a cab for an hour trying to get into manhattan. Also, what are some details about the dome car, and when is the best time to ride, I know it only runs on certain trains, but when should I take it, and from where to where? I REALLY want to get more dome car experience, even with my upcoming Via Rail Canadian trip from VAC-Winnipeg. I want to experience the golden age of train travel, but I haven't had the chance to, because I am only 13 y/o
