Well it depends on what we're doing, where, and how long it takes most to get to/from Chicago. Some activities are limited in when they can be done -- for example the Platte Valley Trolley in Denver only runs on Friday-Saturday-Sunday. Many commuter or transit lines have more service on weekdays, and better lend themselves to having us visit during the weekdays. Some only run weekdays, such as VRE.I really like the Saturday to Saturday format out of Chicago. This neatly fits the entire trip within a weeks worth of days off from work, even from new York, provided you can sneak out in early afternoon on Friday, which I usually can. I highy recommend that this be used as a model for future fests in general.
I note too that a Saturday to Saturday format would allow use of the Cardinal to/from the east coast either way on its thrice-weekly schedule.
That said, my work week tends to be less conventional than most, although that should change soon. Not every workplace gives weeks off - some allow one to take days off as needed.
Bottom line - every Fest is a puzzle whose pieces have to fit together just right in order to maximize our rail activities. Complicating this there could be a day or two added in Chicago as we did in 2012.

Should the Summer Rockies RailFest depart Chicago on July 7 those on Board might meet the X-train participants on the CZ. Here is a link to X-Train Event Don't let any of their officials know if you are 60 or over as for their March event there are no tickets available for those past 59. They are calling it a singles and mingle so I guess they think no one of those ages are single and want to meet anyone or even go to the first event in their first 2 cars.
