INTRODUCTION
Earlier rail Car acquisition activities ended and business progress was
purposely delayed for a few years to avoid unfavorable economic
conditions. Revitalized business development began in late 2014 after
confirming that luxury vacation, timeshare and passenger rail markets
did and would continue to more than adequately support ongoing
objectives.

the extent necessary to offer them for sale. The ‘time to market’ for

• 7 self sufficient Private Cars with 2 or 3 bedrooms each.
• 6 Display Cars.
• 5 Activity Cars.
RAIL CARS - Summary
The total cost to acquire and improve 60 Cars is about $38.5 million,
an average of $641,667 each, and up to $788,000 per Car (Dome Car).
This cost is well below the market value of the finished Cars.
The optimal rate of Car acquisition corresponds to the Company’s ‘pull’
and related just-in-time inventory business strategy that produces more
Car accommodations only when needed, avoiding surplus capacity and
costs; versus ‘push’ selling that needs to persuade consumers to acquire
existing inventory.
Initial Car rights have been acquired. Improvements are under way or
starting soon and Cars will begin to enter service in 2016.

- Funding CriteriaRAIL CARS
Journey by Rail product sales are typically made from several months to a
year in advance of related departures, which is longer than it takes to fully
improve and place a Car in service.
Cars can be acquired and improved after sales are confirmed;
before the first related departure date. Backup Cars are available in case
there is an unexpected delay. Sufficient sales income is held to pay the
cost of Cars to assure that they are available when required.
Overall passenger capacity growth is based on a ‘pull’ strategy using
available consumer demand to generate sales of one Car which produces
net revenue to pay for other Cars which generates more net sales revenue
to pay for additional Cars; and so on.
Therefore,
Therefore,
Ongoing consumer pull/demand = Sales and revenue = More Cars and passenger capacity
capital investment to acquire a couple of rail Cars provides
enough inventory to generate sales revenue to pay for more Cars.

- Car FinancingRAIL CARS
*Documentation for a $5 million Federal Railroad Administration RRIF
loan with favorable terms is complete, but on hold until a related need is
confirmed.
Although funding one Car can produce adequate inventory and revenue
to effectively progress, added financing provides expedited inventory to
support aggressive sales activities.
Present stock offering funding is for $1million. However, excess demand
might quickly make it appropriate to acquire more financing to accelerate
Car introduction ahead of present forecasts. This could include a second
round of equity funding at higher share prices, or an equipment loan* for
Cars.
Minimum
$650,000
Present
$1,000,000
Tentative
$5,000,000

Equity funding of $1 million provides capital to pay amounts owed for
two Cars and to complete improvements of the 1st
. Two additional
follow-up Cars have been selected; rights to more exist.
The 1st
Car is a three bedroom/dining/lounge Car costing $600,000 to
acquire and improve.
• 144 annual weekly Journey by Rail/Train’Share time periods (three
bedrooms X 48 weeks); sufficient inventory for up to six months.
• Net sales revenue that is allocated for and exceeds amounts needed

• Unrivaled value compared to other luxury train vacations.
Lower fares come from economical locomotive expense, the
payment of operating costs from prepaid Train’Share Fees, a
relatively low cost of inventory (Cars), and amortization of

- Implementation5. Selling Ability
A percentage of sales revenue is allocated to pay for Cars and ongoing
marketing; ensuring expected sales and expanding Journey availability.
Sales promotions include enticing pre operating, early buyer offers.
Effective sales personnel are ready; selling programs are starting.
The marketing budget is high; $112 million within five years, 36% of
gross revenue for all products combined, up to 60% for Train’Shares.
Starting Train’Share prices are profitably under $18,000, below overall
average timeshare prices that exceed $20,400, $29,800 for equivalent
luxury timeshares; and, Train’Shares are uniquely more attractive.
Individual Journey by Rail fares are under $6,400 (per person double
occupancy) before any discount, lower than other luxury trains.
64
Based on experience and reasonable assumptions, the number of leads
and presentations to make one Train’Share sale are:
3.1 qualified leads - interested, with money and able to buy
1 Train’Share sale, average price over five years - $27,000
Substantive domestic and foreign market
Individual Journey by Rail sales also begin, producing related income.
Fractional Interest sales promotion starts, with delayed income.
5. Selling Ability - Implementation
2.06 personal (live) presentations
Known sources provide required numbers of qualified leads.

8. Proven Business Model
Combining typical upscale vacations and shared vacation ownership
(timeshares) is a proven component of effective leisure industry business
models used by major entities like Marriott and Wyndham.
Timeshare (Train’Share) sales create (1) substantial advance revenue
ahead of first related occupancy dates, (2) assured future occupancy, and
(3) Owner fees to pay annual operating expenses.
Individual vacation (Journey) sales produce (1) revenue, (2) occupancy
in time periods not yet sold as timeshares, and (3) timeshare buyers.
Management has prosperous experience using this business model for
cruise ship and resort projects; it is enhanced to benefit rail Car features.
Unique other benefits come from a ‘pull’ business strategy. Inventory
costs can be limited to one or two rail Cars at a time until (1) existing
Car sales income can pay for more Cars and (2) future Car occupancy is
assured by advance individual vacation and/or Train’Share sales.
Change slide
69
The strategy used to manage inventory growth is based on consumer
interest that ‘pulls’ expansion forward.
Accommodation capacity is quickly increased by simply introducing
additional Cars with bedrooms and amenities as needed to meet already
assured advance sale requirements; ‘pulled’ by consumer demand.
From 3 to 6 bedrooms can be quickly produced in a single Car.
9. Low Cost Inventory, on Demand
The cost to produce a Journey by Rail Train’Share time period including
Cars and product delivery costs is 18.6% of revenue, below the 28 to
32% for equivalent real estate timeshare properties and vacation resorts.
Change slide
Therefore:
• Surplus capacity is avoided; costs for unneeded Cars is eliminated.
• Cars operate with optimum occupancy; net income is enhanced.
• With proportional pricing America’s Trains can generate over 10%
more net income compared to competitive vacation products.
70
10. Essential Cash Management
Cash management strategies include:
• Continuing analysis provides timely, realistic cash flow management.
• Capital expenditures (for rail Cars) occur as required by consumer
demand, afterrelated future sales and income has been confirmed.
• Forecasts include more than adequate sale incentive discounts for early
sales, and excessive projected expense for buyer financing costs.
• Price discounts are accompanied and offset by reduced selling costs.
• Sales receivables are minimal and none are unsecured.
• The majority of operating costs occur after receiving related revenue.
• Additional operating expenses are contingent on already confirmed
sources of future income.
• Reserves and cash for contingencies grow to exceed $5 million.
• After funding, there is no and any future long term debt will be for
Cars based on assured revenue for debt amortization.
• Short term debt is expected to remain very low.
• The ‘burn’ rate is nominal; net cash flow starts in about seven months.

11. Undeterred Earning Potential
A summary of previously described advantages and other factors
that support earnings expectations include:
Timing image
• No competition, market dominance.
• Uniquely desirable product.
• Pent up domestic interest.
• Surplus foreign demand.
• Multiple, conjunctive revenue streams.
• Relatively low initial cost to produce inventory (Cars).
• No surplus inventory; Cars are acquired after sales, related income
and future occupancy has been confirmed.
• Nominal debt.
• Relatively low operating costs.
• Assured advance Train’Share owner fees pay for operations.
• Many expenses are revenue related.
• A cash contingency fund is available.
Change slide
Significant scrutiny indicates
that potential revenue is not
overstated.
76
• Receive full reimbursement of invested amounts from dividends or
other valuable considerations before earned dividends or other cash
amounts are distributed to prior Common shareholders.
• Are secured by collateralized Cars until the fullreimbursement occurs.
• Have an option at the time of purchase to acquire a right to sell Shares
back to the Company for 1.4 X the amount paid for them (140%)
during the 23rd
month after the Shares were purchased; in which case
the Company gets a similar right to repurchase the Shares at its option.
• Receive credits equal to the amount invested to pay about 75% of the
cost of Journeys and luxury resort vacations for years to come; this
number of credits is for early and will be reduced for later investors.
1,000,000 Class ‘A’ Preferred Shares at $1.00 each (Series A)
Proceeds up to $1,000,000 are for the purchase of two rail Cars and the
full improvement of one; improvement of the other is paid from revenue.
All Shares have one vote and earn equal dividends.
12. Appealing Preferred Share Benefits
Change slide
Additionally, Preferred shareholders -
77
There will be 2,286,250 outstanding shares, which includes 1,000,000
of the new Class ‘A’ Preferred and 1,286,250 original common shares.
Shareholder dilution is minimized.
Over five years, projected pre tax net cash per $1.00 share is $42.00.
Presuming that a portion of the $42.00 per share earnings is invested to
expand operations to enhance future Company performance, after taxes
the notable balance provides early and continuing desirable dividends.
13. Desirable Earnings Per Share
Change slide
78
Shareholders also have rights
to luxurious Journeys by Rail,
and worldwide vacations, at
nominal cost; for example

• Phased expansion by using income from existing Cars to pay for more
Cars only after future sales and occupancy has been confirmed.
• Train’Shares sales provide future occupancy, and fees to pay costs.
• Substantial prior related experience of management.
• Excessive marketing budget; $112 million within five years, 36% of
gross revenue for all products combined, up to 60% for Train’Shares.
• Recession resistant business strategy and products.
• Reduced seasonal income is eliminated because itineraries change to
avoid unwanted climates and related lower fares and occupancy.
• Although considered unnecessary, reasonable exit strategies can avoid
financial loss.
• And -
14. Mitigated Risk
Change slide
A summary of previously described advantages and other factors
that support elimination of risk include:
80
Collateralized Cars provide financial security for investors.
Their ‘liquidation sale’ value should exceed invested amounts.
14. Mitigated Risk
Change slide
81
15. Present Company Value
• Brand value - Product names/brands are not yet well established.
Consumer awareness should grow quickly.
• Business stage - Capabilities are developed, mature and ready to go.
• Cash flow, post funding - 1st
year $463,000, $47,000,000 in 5th
year.
• Competition - There is no meaningful train vacation competition.
• Cost to duplicate fixed (excluding intellectual and exclusive rights) -
Over $500,000; and a newcomer must overcome many difficulties.
• Debt - Pre funding rail Car payments $275,000, other $12,500. Post
funding $25,000.
• Intellectual capital - The value of uniquely merged comprehensive
travel, railroad and timeshare capabilities has significant intangible
value that may reasonably exceed $500,000, or much more.
• Inventory availability - Low cost, on demand, no surplus capacity.
Change slide
Based on overall attributes and the following factors, the
present value of the Company is deemed to minimally be
$1,290,000.
Continued
82
15. Present Company Value
• Litigation - None, no unusual expected.
• Management - Superior existing capabilities are being and will be
supplemented by available persons to enhance expansion.
• Market size - Relatively enormous; a miniscule share is required.
• Marketing, sales - Existing capabilities are more than adequate.
• Regulation difficulties - None, no unusual expected.
• Return on investment (ROI) - If 80% of expected 5 year pre tax net
cash is returned to investors, a $1.00 Preferred Share earns $33.60.
• Risk - In addition to other risk mitigation, Preferred Shareholders are
secured by collateralized rail Cars.
• Share distribution - 56% of post funding outstanding stock will be
held by or for initial principals and management.
• Size of opportunity - Accelerating growth in the first several years,
more thereafter.
• Traction - More than adequate.

  • 14. 14 60 older Cars are acquired and improved within five years, including: • 42 sleeping, lounge, dining Train Set Cars with 175 bedrooms. • 7 self sufficient Private Cars with 2 or 3 bedrooms each. • 6 Display Cars. • 5 Activity Cars. RAIL CARS - Summary The total cost to acquire and improve 60 Cars is about $38.5 million, an average of $641,667 each, and up to $788,000 per Car (Dome Car). This cost is well below the market value of the finished Cars. The optimal rate of Car acquisition corresponds to the Company’s ‘pull’ and related just-in-time inventory business strategy that produces more Car accommodations only when needed, avoiding surplus capacity and costs; versus ‘push’ selling that needs to persuade consumers to acquire existing inventory. Initial Car rights have been acquired. Improvements are under way or starting soon and Cars will begin to enter service in 2016. Change slide
  • 15. 15 - Funding CriteriaRAIL CARS Journey by Rail product sales are typically made from several months to a year in advance of related departures, which is longer than it takes to fully improve and place a Car in service. Cars can be acquired and improved after sales are confirmed; before the first related departure date. Backup Cars are available in case there is an unexpected delay. Sufficient sales income is held to pay the cost of Cars to assure that they are available when required. Overall passenger capacity growth is based on a ‘pull’ strategy using available consumer demand to generate sales of one Car which produces net revenue to pay for other Cars which generates more net sales revenue to pay for additional Cars; and so on. Therefore, Therefore, Ongoing consumer pull/demand = Sales and revenue = More Cars and passenger capacity capital investment to acquire a couple of rail Cars provides enough inventory to generate sales revenue to pay for more Cars.

  • 16. 16 Change slide - Car FinancingRAIL CARS *Documentation for a $5 million Federal Railroad Administration RRIF loan with favorable terms is complete, but on hold until a related need is confirmed. Although funding one Car can produce adequate inventory and revenue to effectively progress, added financing provides expedited inventory to support aggressive sales activities. Present stock offering funding is for $1million. However, excess demand might quickly make it appropriate to acquire more financing to accelerate Car introduction ahead of present forecasts. This could include a second round of equity funding at higher share prices, or an equipment loan* for Cars. Minimum $650,000 Present $1,000,000 Tentative $5,000,000
  • 17. 17 Equity funding of $1 million provides capital to pay amounts owed for two Cars and to complete improvements of the 1st . Two additional follow-up Cars have been selected; rights to more exist. The 1st Car is a three bedroom/dining/lounge Car costing $600,000 to acquire and improve. • 144 annual weekly Journey by Rail/Train’Share time periods (three bedrooms X 48 weeks); sufficient inventory for up to six months. • Net sales revenue that is allocated for and exceeds amounts needed to complete Car improvements of a 2nd and to acquire a 3rd Car.

  • 68. 68 8. Proven Business Model Combining typical upscale vacations and shared vacation ownership (timeshares) is a proven component of effective leisure industry business models used by major entities like Marriott and Wyndham. Timeshare (Train’Share) sales create (1) substantial advance revenue ahead of first related occupancy dates, (2) assured future occupancy, and (3) Owner fees to pay annual operating expenses. Individual vacation (Journey) sales produce (1) revenue, (2) occupancy in time periods not yet sold as timeshares, and (3) timeshare buyers. Management has prosperous experience using this business model for cruise ship and resort projects; it is enhanced to benefit rail Car features. Unique other benefits come from a ‘pull’ business strategy. Inventory costs can be limited to one or two rail Cars at a time until (1) existing Car sales income can pay for more Cars and (2) future Car occupancy is assured by advance individual vacation and/or Train’Share sales. Change slide
  • 69. 69 The strategy used to manage inventory growth is based on consumer interest that ‘pulls’ expansion forward. Accommodation capacity is quickly increased by simply introducing additional Cars with bedrooms and amenities as needed to meet already assured advance sale requirements; ‘pulled’ by consumer demand. From 3 to 6 bedrooms can be quickly produced in a single Car. 9. Low Cost Inventory, on Demand The cost to produce a Journey by Rail Train’Share time period including Cars and product delivery costs is 18.6% of revenue, below the 28 to 32% for equivalent real estate timeshare properties and vacation resorts. Change slide Therefore: • Surplus capacity is avoided; costs for unneeded Cars is eliminated. • Cars operate with optimum occupancy; net income is enhanced. • With proportional pricing America’s Trains can generate over 10% more net income compared to competitive vacation products.
  • 70. 70 10. Essential Cash Management Cash management strategies include: • Continuing analysis provides timely, realistic cash flow management. • Capital expenditures (for rail Cars) occur as required by consumer demand, afterrelated future sales and income has been confirmed. • Forecasts include more than adequate sale incentive discounts for early sales, and excessive projected expense for buyer financing costs. • Price discounts are accompanied and offset by reduced selling costs. • Sales receivables are minimal and none are unsecured. • The majority of operating costs occur after receiving related revenue. • Additional operating expenses are contingent on already confirmed sources of future income. • Reserves and cash for contingencies grow to exceed $5 million. • After funding, there is no and any future long term debt will be for Cars based on assured revenue for debt amortization. • Short term debt is expected to remain very low. • The ‘burn’ rate is nominal; net cash flow starts in about seven months.
