A unique enhanced aspect of (click on) timesharing’s continuing growth;
preeminent all-inclusive personal property Train’SharesTM on private railroad Cars.
Overview of Train’Shares
Journey by Rail all-inclusive vacations are on luxurious private passenger railroad Cars that include a growing number of routes throughout the USA and into Canada. Depending on the itinerary, en-route layovers where passengers live on board their elegant Car while enjoying nearby attractions are included.
Individual (single) Journeys can be purchased at prices (Fares) below comparable foreign train vacations (there are no others in the U.S.) and are available to Train’Share (timeshare) Owners with significant additional savings and other benefits. Train’Share ownership includes:
-
- Annual or more frequent rights for five to 11 day Journey by Rail vacations year after year.
- Ownership for a 10 year or perpetual term; with a right to sell the Train’Share back to America’s Trains.
- Biennial (every other year) or Annual (every year) Train’Shares.
- A growing selection of changing year round vacation itineraries to choose from.
- A more than adequate number of Journeys and dates to choose from, over twice as many departures compared to the number of sold Train’Shares.
- Points based Train’Share ownership and related flexibility when selecting Journey vacations. Train’Share buyers receive a selected number of points that they use like currency to acquire a Journey vacation of their choice, each point is equal to $1.00. Points are valid for one year but are automatically renewed each year at no cost. Additional points are automatically given to Train’Share owners at no cost to provide for inflationary price increases.
- Choice of Journey length, bedroom category and route, with lots of Journeys to choose from including time periods allocated for individual (single) Journeys along with time periods set aside for Train’Shares.
- Simple, easy, all-inclusive. Pick a Journey and arrive at the departure station; easy boarding, everything else is done for passengers. You can also request special personalized services.
- No low, undesirable seasons; routes change to avoid undesirable geographic weather conditions.
- A single (just one) Train’Share fee; an annual Journey Use Fee equal to a low percentage of the current normal non Train’Share Journey fare for the selected Journey by Rail. There are no other mandatory charges.
- No Journey Use Fee or other payment if a Journey is not used. At their option Owners can give an annual Journey to the Owner’s Association and not pay any fee.
- Ongoing modifications and enhancements to ensure that Cars, itineraries and operations meet changing requirements and vacation variables in future years.
- Points (Train’Shares) can be gifted, sold, or willed for use by children and grandchildren.
- Significant Journey savings compared to normal individual Journey fares.
- Avoidance of future Journey vacation cost increases due to inflation. The amortized annual cost of Points remains the same over the term of ownership; today’s cost applies to future years.
- Train’Shares can be sold. The sale price can be based on the number of remaining Journeys (years), for which there is continuing consumer demand.
- Rights to rent an annual Train’Share Journey directly or through available travel agents to their existing customers. Owners keep net income.
- Vacation exchanges with the world’s largest timeshare exchange entity, RCI, allowing a Journey by Rail to be exchanged for one or more of over 4,000 alternative worldwide vacations.
- A right to sell Train’Shares and related Points back to ATs for an amount that equals the price originally paid, less the value of Journeys and services used to date.
- Train’Share rights and the use of Journeys by Rail are governed by a Train’Share Purchase Agreement, Declarations, and Journey Terms and Conditions.
