Default Rail - Steamer Cruise

Here's one that is news to me. Apparently the Greene Line offered a rail-steamer "all-expense-escorted tour" to Mardi Gras at New Orleans aboard the DELTA QUEEN with return on the L&N Railroad's HUMMINGBIRD luxury streamliner passenger train.

I well remember the H'bird, sleek and dazzling, as it passed near-by grandmother's house, in Latonia, KY, heading toward the Promised Land, but this is the first I knew that GLS offered a combination trip. Now that's one I would love to take. Right Cap'n Jim?
