Ho, Ho, Ho, yer funy !!! Only for a very short time back in the early 50s. I don't count that in my military career. Ouch ! I do not know FRA,MUC, or AMS. I am sure these are codes for airports around the world. I was thinking of a series of RR tracks out side of an major airport, not only the USA but in Europe. I know some airports have a light rail going to them as compared to a major RR having an airport and a major stopping place or station in its system. It would be like the train station, "Back Bay ,South Boston" station using the Airport all in one. Combining the two in one facility. Got It? I wonder if other aril fans and flying fans can let us know what they have seen. Thanks for the reply, Bob BOB FLETCHER US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS Military Design Section, 10th Floor S.W.

Europe has many of these. The ones that I have been to and used conveniently are FRA,MUC, AMS. In US there is EWR. You get on the sky train to get on Amtrak, but there is a Newark Airport station. I used it once earlier this year when US/UA wanted $600 for a 21 days advance, Sat. night stay fare from Philly. I took the train to EWR, flew out of there for $330.. :) BAHA Fan of being cheap -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Bob Fletcher Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 2:05 PM To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Airport Architecture Publication I am going to add a question to this post; ARE THERE ANY AIRPORTS THAT HAVE A REGULAR TRAIN STATION ATTACHED? No, I was not shouting, Just wanted to get everyone's attention. This question includes any train stations/airports in Europe.

It is published more or less monthly by Key Publishing in the U.K. (better known as publishers of Air International and Airliner World). It is free for qualified trade subscribers, just go to http://www.airportsint.com. The magazine covers the aiport industry in the widest sense. Whenever a new terminal is opened at a major airport, it will devote two or three pages with photographs and a write-up. But then the next issue might focus on tow tractors, luggage carousels, or security.
