That would be a case of book keepers cutting off a nose to spite the
face.  People take the cruise line trip precisely so that they can also
package in the scenic train ride to Denali.  Cut the trail ride, and the
cruise line loses customers.

We used to travel with a group now called Country Traveler Discovers.
They did a tour to Alaska that included two different train segments.
We also once did one that was West Virginia Steam Engines.  Looking at
their current web site, that does not seem to be available anymore, but
you might enjoy looking at their booking (including multiple pictures)
for a train trip in Colorado.

They might be able to include a "kosher style" menu, but I would doubt
that they would have a meat entree that is really kosher.  Depends on
how orthodox your friends are.  If nothing else, they could easily
satisfy kosher requirements using seafood such as salmon with scales and
fins, or by going vegetarian.



MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Creamed Chicken(Turkey) corn soup
 Categories: Crockpot
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
     12 oz Leftover chicken or turkey
      1 cn Cream of chicken soup
  8 1/2 oz Cream style corn
      7 oz Chicken broth
    1/2 c  Chopped carrot
    1/2 c  Finely chopped onion
    1/4 c  Chopped celery
    1/2 c  Frozen whole kernel corn
    1/4 c  More chicken broth (Omit)
      2 tb Instant potatoes (maybe)
 
  In 3 1/2 quart slow cooker combine soup, corn, broth, chopped
  vegetables and frozen corn.
  
  Cover and cook on low for 5 - 6 hours on low (High for 2 1/2 - 3
  Hours)
  
  If using leftover already cooked poultry, cube meat into 1 inch cubes
  and add to soup the last half hour.
  
  If soup is too thin - add more instant potatoes to see if the soup
  will thicken as much as you want.
  
  I used bacos as a garnish.
  
  This recipe was half of the original recipe.  Made 4 good sized
  servings.
  
  Needed some salt and pepper.  Maybe a sprinkle of  cheddar cheese
  along with the bacos as a garnish.
  
  Variation of recipe from bgh recipes.
  
  This is a nice use for leftover poultry.  If you wanted to start with
  fresh poultry - it should be added at the very beginning, cooked until
  done, cooled, cubed and placed back in to the soup.
  
  I will make this again.
 
MMMMM
