Northern Rail recently became aware of an active market for people interested in scenic rail travel and started offering deluxe rail viewing trips for people that like to eat good food while looking at trees and mountains from trains. This will split the rail passenger trips into two segments: Basic and Deluxe.

Budgeted and Actual Financial Information for the Basic and Deluxe are as follows:
