According to the 9/28 Beaumont, TX Enterprise the city is set to close on the land and the plans for a new Amtrak depot on November 5th. Maybe it'll be ready for our gathering next year ??? h34r: :help: :lol:
I'm guessing if Beaumont had to pay the full costs of that station instead of sucking up scarce federal dollars they would have put it downtown on the KCS tracks where it belongs.According to the 9/28 Beaumont, TX Enterprise the city is set to close on the land and the plans for a new Amtrak depot on November 5th.

No beer joints or bars around there Jay, we would have to drink water and Diet sodas, which come to think of it might improve the behaviour of our members greatly! :lol: Ive read that Beaumont is going to become a Flag Stop, it is a crew change stop so does this mean the pax on the Sunset wont have the pleasure of hanging out on the cement slab "station" anymore? :giggle:According to the 9/28 Beaumont, TX Enterprise the city is set to close on the land and the plans for a new Amtrak depot on November 5th.

All joking aside I think international visits could be lots of fun. But maybe we should start a bit smaller, say in Canada?I thought you guys could all come to my place next year?
Hmm. I traveled to and from Nottingham rail station in 1990. I don't recall it looking quite that posh.
If in SEA or PDX I will be there.2 was in LAWhere was the west Gathering held?Beaumont can't be a site for Gathering V! If it continues to go

5 has yet to be determined. Seattle and Portland have been discussed.
Aloha
Vancouver, Washington?If so I would strongly suggest Vancouver! I'd be happy with Portland or Seattle as well, but Vancouver would be my top pick. ... Thoughts?
To maximize train riding the routing would be:Aloha
It would be fun to have a gathering in your back yard, but I think Amtrak ticketing might have troubles handling such a trip. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :wub:
Amtrak to EWR, KLM to Amsterdam, Thalys to Brussels or Paris, Eurostar to London, East Midlands Trains to Nottingham :lol:Amtrak to EWR.
CO to Manchester
Train to Nottingham
Well we could open "Jim & Jay's Watering Hole" but Amtrak would change the crew change point and board up the depot the day we opened for business. :lol: :lol: :lol:No beer joints or bars around there Jay, we would have to drink water and Diet sodas, which come to think of it might improve the behaviour of our members greatly! :lol: Ive read that Beaumont is going to become a Flag Stop, it is a crew change stop so does this mean the pax on the Sunset wont have the pleasure of hanging out on the cement slab "station" anymore? :giggle:According to the 9/28 Beaumont, TX Enterprise the city is set to close on the land and the plans for a new Amtrak depot on November 5th.

Wow that looks like quite a train station! I can't imagine a group of 30 or 40 AU members all boarding a plane together with Whooz wearing a fez and shouting whatever slogan he designs for a gathering across the pond. I think the flight crew would divert us to Iceland :lol:
Unless TSA diverts us somewhere else first :lol:Wow that looks like quite a train station!

I'd doubt we would get much further than Boston - if not JFK!Unless TSA diverts us somewhere else first :lol:Wow that looks like quite a train station!

You mean switching the focus from a specific city to a train route? Sounds good to me!Has anyone thought that the gathering should take place aboard train.. We could travel from CHI to EMY by train.. just think of the savings on hotels!
