	What's New: La Grande Allure: Reprise (also La Grande Allure: 2000's)

...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 added the Reprise volume for La Grande Allure, providing an overview of all my Overseas trips (including 37 new photos). I've also posted a revised version of La Grande Allure: 2000's.

This leaves one volume to be added: the Companion Document for La Grande Allure.

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.

To determine if these volumes might be of interest, please click on Background.
