“Senior Focus: Train travel can be scenic”

But not affordable.”

A couple years ago a model train club contemplated making a club trip on the train from Sacramento to Reno over Donner Pass. As a spouse of a club member, I was kind of looking forward to it but the guys, checking out costs, calculated how many locomotive models they could purchase with the fare prices and the trip was off.

Although there's been a painful attempt by the global investment community to weasel out of the retirement plans and pension obligations owed to the Baby Boom generation, it's a pretty safe prediction that the Boomers will get their revenge at the ballot box.
