Brett is absolutely right. Grand Luxe needed/needs an ownership that can afford to take losses while aggressively marketing for a few years. A bit of creativeness in routes would have helped too. Much like a Major League Baseball team, this treasure is not a toy. I too pray that the remaining cars are not further scavenged so that this unique experience can be revived. This extinction of this way of touring our country is certain if the Grand Luxe is not kept intact.

I agree that there is much that is broken in Washington DC, but the business climate for an operation like GrandLuxe to return won't improve if the person who gains the Presidency implements huge tax hikes on American businesses and American consumers and fails to encourage EVERY possible means of improving our domestic energy production.

Wishing for change without understanding how those changes will affect American business is the wrong way to proceed. Praying for wise, good, and EXPERIENCED leadership for this country is the right course.

Maybe if they didn't cheat customers such as myself they would still be in business. I also find it offensive that you would blame their demise on our President. A new day will dawn when people/businesses quit being victims and take responsibility for themselves.
