There is a group in Indiana that had restored an old steam engine and takes it out for a spin every now and then for fund raisers They also have period cars and volunteers do serve beverages and meals. As a bonus the destination was Peru IN and the Circus Hall of Fame. A couple of times I took Amtrak from Ft. Wayne to Chicago. It was a difference experience. Amtrak on the Boston to DC corridor gets a lot of love; other areas not so much.
