Ok, so was at the coupon trade tonight, and I got the train bug again, haven't been on one since last fall, well...... Apparently the boarding pass is now a free product coupon (fpc) ( btw bricon, do you like that I new that abbreviation, lol). Anyway, I will not be boarding an train that requests a fpc. That's just crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will have to search more for trains that don't have that, but looks like they are few and far between!
