If we all say Rock Island, IL is our hometown, I wonder if Trainfest 2011 might become a possibility? |

I tried our real hometown, but they weren't amenable to buying the river line from NS yet. Which hometown works best for Rock Island? It gave me a choice of eight scattered around IA and IL, but I don't know the territory well enough. And yes, this is a cool gimmick. |

How is UP marketing this site and opportunity to the general public? Since I'm nowhere near UP territory, whatever they are doing isn't targeted at me. dave |
