Post your July and earlier Amtrak trips as replies in this topic. I'm expecting a very FESTive month for mileage submissions. And, since the subject of the OTOL SoCal RailFest was so cleverly introduced, let me add this. We will once again be providing a special tally for Amtrak miles associated with the OTOL 2009 SoCal RailFest. Miles that will be credited to the RailFest total will include Amtrak miles travelled while on the Fest itinerary (naturally), plus any Amtrak miles travelled to and from the formal Fest trips. Just post your Amtrak miles here as you always do, and I'll see that Fest miles get credited both here and in the Fest topic. The Fest topic will appear once Fest miles start getting reported.

And the SOB for South Bend is Amtrak's doing. I believe the airport code is SBN if I am not mistaken.
