Let's not forget the trip that some members had in getting to New York City before the start of our fest. Mike Hammond rode Friday's LAKE SHORE LIMITED from Cleveland to New York. The train did not leave Cleveland until after 8 AM. The delay was due to a suicide-by-freight train that occurred in Indiana. His train came into New York Penn Station at 7:40 PM, which was a little over 4 hours late.

The same incident also delayed the eastbound CAPITOL LIMITED. This train was carrying David Korkhouse and Don Sillence from South Bend to Washington, DC, where they were supposed to switch to Regional Train 94 to come up the Corridor to New York. Their train, although in front of the LAKE SHORE as far as Cleveland, incurred further delay between there and Washington. They ended up arriving in Washington at 7:30 PM, over 7-1/2 hours down. They caught Regional 198 at 8:30 and got into New York City around 12 midnight. Luckily they were staying at the Hotel Pennsylvania right across the street.
