Both days of the Virginia RailFest we will be travelling on Amtrak trains. Since the trains usually board 20 minutes or so before departure, we should be in the Club Acela well in advance of that time. For the Saturday trip, we leave at 10 AM on the Palmetto. I would say no later than 9 AM we should be within the lounge. If you cannot access the lounge, you can meet us on the train or call us and we can probably have you admitted as a guest. For the Sunday trip we should be in the lounge by 10 AM for the 11 AM departure of the Cardinal.
If you are participating in the Sunday morning DC Streetcar trip, we will be taking the 8:45 AM trip departing from the back of Union Station. We should be walking to the location no later than 8:30 AM, so we should assemble between 8:15 and 8:30. Again we could meet inside the Club Acela, and if you cannot go in then meet us outside no later than 8:25 so we can begin going upstairs and out to the streetcar by 8:30. We should be back after the 1 hour round trip by about around 9:45 AM and will then enter the lounge to wait for the Cardinal.
