Normally we would not have been able to stay that long; however, the train was diverted to the northern route, and also didn't make any intermediate stops, and therefore it arrived about three hours ahead of schedule. The regular route through the former D&RG RR is slower.

Had we not had our dinner included in the ticket, we would have gone to one of the many restaurants on 16th Street for dinner. Many of the coach passengers did exactly that.
