Let me start off July ....

06/04/08 MET - SAB 54 Vermonter 410 miles
06/05/08 SAB - MET 57 Vermonter 410 miles

Jishnu.

And I'll keep it rolling with the following:

7/3/08 NYP-WAS 2117 226 Miles
7/4/08 WAS-BWI 2212 21 Miles
7/4/08 BWI-WAS 143 21 Miles
7/4/08 WAS-CHI 29 764 Miles
7/5/08 CHI-NYP 48 959 Miles

Total 1,991 Miles.

Thanks Bill.

Jishnu,

Are you starting off July or finishing off June, since you gave a month of 06?

The month in the dates are wrong. They should be 7/4 and 7/5 of course. Sigh...

Here is the correct entry:

07/04/08 MET - SAB 54 Vermonter 410 miles
07/05/08 SAB - MET 57 Vermonter 410 miles

There is no 54 or 57 on 4th and 5th June.

Here's a late June addition

06-27-08 PacSurf 567 IRV to LAX 45 miles

I was also on #582 to head home on a overfull, short consist when the conductor decided that my questioning why crew needed 10 seats was cause to call the police and kick me off at Union Station.
So, I took a Metrolink instead and will have to use that ticket later.

BTW - The home team lost.

Sounds like you did too. As long as you asked the question in a friendly manner, there is no reason why an incident with the police should have happened.

BTW, when that team from ANA visited PHL last month, they brought their brooms with them.

And the summer OTOL Fest miles begin to pour in:

7/19/08: PHL-TPA Train #91 Silver Star, 1174 miles
7/21/08: TPA-MIA Train #91 Silver Star, 257 miles
7/23/08: MIA-PHL Train #98 Silver Meteor, 1298 miles

Total: 2729 miles

Of course please check the above for accuracy, as it takes a lot of math to figure out Silver Star mileage based on the timetables.

Thanks, Bill!

For OTOL Summer Fest:

7/19/08: NYP - TPA Train #91 Silver Star, 1223 miles
7/21/08: TPA - MIA Train #91 Silver Star, 257 miles
7/23/08: MIA - NYP Train #98 Silver Meteor, 1389 miles

Also OTOL Fest Mileage

7/20 #195 Regional BOS-WAS 457 mi
7/20 #91 Silver Star WAS-HOL 1192 Mi
7/23 #98 Silver Meteor HOL-NYP 1375 Mi
7/24 #86 Regional NYP-BOS 231 MI

Was a great time, sorry we didnt get to meet up in Tampa Bill

The Fest Miles begin to arrive...

First, there is the issue of the mileages of the Silver Star verses the Silver Meteor. That requires some math to be employed to get the correct mileages for the Silver Star. Here's how it works:

For all stops between New York south to but not including Savannah, the timetable miles are correct for both trains.

The route of the Silver Star via Raleigh and Columbia is 42 miles longer to Savannah than the Silver Meteor's route via Florence and Charleston. So, to get the correct mileage for the Star, you must add 42 miles to the timetable miles for stations from Savannah to Lakeland (both stops).

Then, the out and back to Tampa taken by the Silver Star adds another 91 miles as compared to the Meteor's direct route from Kissimmee to Winter Haven. Add those 91 miles to the 42 extra miles via Columbia, and you then add 133 miles to the timetable mileages to get the Silver Star's mileages for all stops from Winter Haven to Miami. Bottom line: NYP-MIA is 1389 miles via the Silver Meteor and 1522 miles via the Silver Star.

So..., here we go!

I think the keystone service was 609 30th street to Harrisburg and 650 coming back. It was Acela 2104 dc to 30th street and acela 2167 30th street to DC. I should have done that the first time around. Sorry about being lazy.

Thanks. The acknowledgement has been edited.

Bill,

As we did for him last year, please allow me to submit the Fest mileage for Mike Hammond. We verified this via text message this morning:

Mike Hammond 7/21/08 TPA-MIA Train #91 Silver Star 257 miles

I believe that we have had mileage reports from everyone who rode Amtrak on the Fest, with the exception of Eric (GG1) and Rick (rrrick).

At the present time Eric is still not home, and he may be adding to his mileage while in California before going back to Hawaii. I'm sure he will have a lot to post when he's home!

And here's Mike's mileage:
