	Latest - revised No Matter Where: 2nd 2000's & Reprise

...to my passenger-train travel logs and consists. I've organized the trips into two logs: NO MATTER WHERE IT'S GOING for North America (Canadian passenger trains accounting for 90% of both trips and distance; American and Mexican, the rest); and LA GRANDE ALLURE for Overseas (European passenger trains during 12 holidays; Australian and Fijian, one).

I've just posted new versions of No Matter Where It's Going volumes 2nd 2000's and Reprise, updated to reflect 2009 trips (including VIA's Ocean and Canadian, and the steam train operated by Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions). Minor corrections and updates have also been made to all other No Matter Where It's Going volumes, and to all La Grande Allure volumes as well. Readers can access the two revised volumes under Latest above, or any volume by means of the horizontal toolbar located both above and at the bottom of these pages.

Please note that these volumes are personal accounts of my passenger-train and associated road, marine and air trips, supplemented by lots of photos and other images. I hope they will appeal to those interested in the role of the passenger train in society, and the evolution of rail travel over this period. While trip purpose, references to travelling companions, and anecdotes are included, I've tried to present them in such a manner as to be easily avoidable by those looking strictly for train consists or composition.
