Tonite on travel channel's BBQ Paradise they showed an Amtrak train and mentioned that during the Lexington BBQ festival in October that the train makes a special stop there. Does anyone know what train that is and has anyone been on it?

For those keping score at home, those trains would be the Piedmont or the Carolinian.

Be aware that the aforementioned train #74 has been renumbered to #76.

The new midday Charlotte-Raleigh train starting June 5 will become #74!
