Personal itinerary has also been updated up to this point: http://kevinkorell.c...tin/itinkk3.htm

One thing I noticed is that you got the train number wrong for the kenosha trip. Metra has it listed as 815 for the train leaving Ogilvie not 811.

Thanks, that was caught and corrected a couple of days ago, though initially I may not have been in a place where I could upload the change. I was probably working off an older timetable when the itinerary was created, and in verifying things before the event, I was looking at the time, not the number. It's an oddity too, that when Metra started running the various commuter lines that had been operated by different freight railroads, they mostly eliminated overlapping numbers... but we had two Train 815's on our Fest, one for the trip up to Kenosha on UP-North, and the other on the outbound trip to Manhattan. At least one runs out of Union Station and the other out of Ogilvie TC.

And now that I'm home the final update of my personal itinerary is completed.

Admittedly some of these changes took place before I got home, but not all were uploaded until now.

Fest Scorecard has been updated for Railrunner in Albuquerque, and Metra and CTA in Chicago. As you can see, CTA has now been totally "aced", and Metra we eliminated 2 routes from the to-do list but we still have two we have not yet covered as a group.

Fest Homepage is appropriately now in the past tense.
