Agreed! The only real competition in the US was a Pullman room on the Great Northern Empire Builder - a wonderful train through Glacier National Park! I'd have loved to do that one as a grown-up. I knew people who swore that at their height, the 20th Century Limited and the Broadway Limited were more luxurious, but those were really just transportation to Chicago/New York. I was not impressed by the 20th Century Limited in 1967.
