I wanted to go to the bar. Turns out there's a bar on the train!
Seriously that was an awesome experience. It was gorgeous and snowing. Like no bs fuckin magical like fairy tale kinda experience. The coal soot gets in your teeth though if you're on one of the outdoor cars. It was snowing so much though we had to turn around at wherever the lunch pavilion is- like halfway, but that was still plenty of train riding. That one kinda wears you out how it sways back and forth constantly.
That is a truly awesome train ride. I'm a cynical bastard and didn't want to go with the family, but super glad I did. If you get the chance, ride that train.
