(...) Right... and, at least in some people's view, the RDC and learnings from it evolved into the Metroliner powered cars, which evolved into the unpowered stock that Amtrak still uses on the east coast for a lot of stuff. (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)

Hi all! Does anyone know where one can find logos for trains companies? I was looking for RZD and EVR's logos, but not much luck. EVR had a logo with the E in a circle, but I found only the the "r" logo. Their pages do not have the logo like DB or (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)

Haven't seen this announced elsewhere, so.... Made a rainy-day visit to LLCA today (2/27) and saw the Metroliner was marked down to $99.99 in the Big Shop. Don't know if it was a temporary or permanent reduction. IMHO a 30% discount on this one is a (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.market.shopping)
