Indeed! Back around 1969-70 I took a train from Shelby, Montana to San Francisco. The high point was going over the Rockies at night. In those days one could ride outside on an observation deck on the last car of the train. Well, maybe it wasn't an official deck, but you could still ride outside. I'll never forget the wonderful experience that was, the full moon, the sound of the rails, the cool, crisp air ... I don't think one can ride outside any more ;-((
