Living up to its one time unofficial name of "The "Bootlegger" during the Volstead Act era, The Montrealer was quite the "party train" circa "70's".
The Lounge Le Pub, converted from an Army Hospital Car, was lively; during that era there was on-board professional entertainment (musician, stand up comedian). An On-Board Service Director was always assigned.
Further, the Montrealer was like the Auto Train in that there were enough Sleepers assigned so one could be obtained last minute. Rest assured upgrade discounts did not apply.
All told, quite the ride!!!!
