Hey Marty,
Sounds like an awesome weekend! Will check the calendar. If I can get the time off work it would be awesome! Later eh...Brian.

[Rene Schweitzer]

Hey, Marty, do you want to list this as an event on trains.com? You can post it (free) here:

[Marty Cozad]

Thanks Rene, i have never been there. Does very many folks look at it?
I guess I need to check more things out.

[Rene Schweitzer]

Yes, they do, Marty. It's a huge database with hundreds of listings. Worth a try since it's free.

[Tom The Brat]

You know... I was thinking we needed something like that.

Maybe if you could ask it to sort them by distance from your zip code?

[Marty Cozad]

Maybe kevin S could come and do an artical for the magizine.
then he could write off the trip.
