Very minor itinerary change, in Houston.  Moved Sunday 7/15 morning starting point on Metrorail Red Line one stop south (from Central Station to Main Street Square) and one minute later, in accordance with where everyone's hotels are.

I've attached to PDF versions of Kevin's itinerary. The "P" version is one-sheet, portrait and will work reasonably well downloaded to a smartphone.  The "L" version is landscape, and will print nicely on one sheet.

I've sorted out our itinerary thus far, from the beginning through arrival in Houston on Saturday evening. Actual times are now shown.   Having shaken things up in New Orleans taking segments in different order, plus with the Julia segment of the Riverfront Streetcar open rather than closed as expected, it was a challenge to get everything accounted for.

Amtrak Sunset Limited times for the 7/16 trip segment are now included in the itinerary, as we are now in San Antonio.

Following Wednesday 7/18 Amtrak and Austin MetroRail activities, actual times updated once more in our itinerary.

 

Further updates for the rest of the week, of which only the Texas Eagle trip to Chicago remains, will be done when I have time and WiFi.

 

Also, considering the event that took place earlier in the journey, I haven't had the time to update my personal itinerary. That will be done later.

The official train riding is now over, and from Chicago, those still in travel will make their ways home.   Here is the final itinerary, with all actual times noted.   Homepage has been rewritten in the past tense.

 

My personal travel thus far, including getting to Washington to join the group, and my post-Fest plans until Monday when I finally get home.

Personal travel was completed today.

 

Also, the Fest Scorecard homepage is now shaded in yellow for systems totally "aced" by our group in New Orleans, Houston, and Austin.  The city links here lead to the individual pages for each, with all lines marked as "ALL" ridden.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the Fest History (which mentions all of our events since 2001) has been updated to incorporate the recently completed LTRF.  LTRF was the 49th major Fest since 2001, although 2 of them that year I didn't host. Depending on how one counts them, we probably will make 50 sometime next year.
