Can anyone give more information? It would be interesting to try it sometime! Thanks. <The Ghost Rider> /* End of text from uiucuxa:net.railroad */

From: Chuck.Weinstock@cmu-sei.arpa You can buy a ticket from either Neenah, WI or Rhinelander, WI to Sault Saint Marie. I don't know the timings or cost. As I recall the freight leaves Neenah early in the morning, and arrives in SOO late in the day. I also recall that the fare is cheap. The only other thing to be aware of is the need to make somewhat advance reservations. I understand that they only accept one passenger per trip. There was an article about this on the front page of the Wall Street Journal not too long ago. Chuck
