No it's not over yet, but I make periodic updates throughout the event while things are fresh in memory.

 

I have updated our itinerary with the actual times from the start of the Fest on Saturday, 7/15 through Dallas Day 1 on Tuesday, 7/18.   

 

 

Thanks to Steve for helping out with the information from Saturday & Sunday, for which I was unable to be there.

I updated my personal itinerary too, from the start of my travels until present (Tuesday night).  Good idea how I spent the time while everyone was going to, through, and from Kansas City.   The Fest itinerary is usually a microcosm of my own itinerary, but over this weekend, it wasn't. :(

Our main Fest itinerary was updated (with actual times) for our long Wednesday in Dallas.  The Las Colinas system is purely on-call, so my guesses of calling times at the endpoint stations were pretty close.

 

Next such update will not be until Friday night after we get to Chicago.

Fest Scorecard has been updated.   RideKC Streetcar, St. Louis Metrolink, DART, A-Train, and Las Colinas APT were shaded in yellow to denote we completed those systems.  Individual pages were updated as well for  RideKC Streetcar, St. Louis Metrolink, DART (includes light rail, Dallas Streetcar, and M-Line trolley), A-Train, Las Colinas APT, and Chicago's Metra.  Metra remains incomplete as many properties do because we were unable and likely will continue to be unable to ride the McHenry Branch of the UP-NW line as long as there is only one possible out and back trip in the very early hours of weekdays.

Our 17-year Fest History has been updated, now showing what the group accomplished last week and updating the places that may be in our future as new rail lines have gone into operation.

Personal itinerary completed, including commuter trips on MBTA & NJ TRANSIT, and the Lake Shore Limited and Acela Express trips that brought me home the long way around.
