Quoting the News Tribune:

[www.thenewstribune.com]

> The seven-car dinner train pulled out of the station toward the mountain
> on tracks owned by the City of Tacoma.

> The train’s official premiere marked the first time in 75 years that a
> regularly scheduled train has followed those tracks toward Mount Rainier.

Gee, I would have thought the 2100 last season counted as a regularly scheduled train? Maybe it doesn't count if you don't get past Fredericskon...

> At Friday’s 20 mph top speed, passengers walking down the aisles moved
> like inebriated mariners as the train lurched from side to side on some
> of the rougher sections of track.

Inebriated Mariners? Is that when Seattle's pitchers has a few too many martinis, or is it the politically correct term for "drunken sailor"?
