Despite the rumors (from some converstations on LD trips w onboard people) National Train Day WILL be back in 2012 on Saturday May 12th. It appears Washington's Union Station, Philadlephia's 30th street Station, Chicago & Los Amgeles Unions stations are the large event locations. There are smaller events in Tampa FL, NYP and at other locations across the USA as well. It appears that the event agenda has yet to be announced so we will need to keep an eye on the website. http://www.nationaltrainday.com/ Right now there is just a pop up showing the new date.
I attended the Philadelphia event last year and found it to be enjoyable and informative. The event was very crowded and I believe that it accomplishes the marketing task that it was set out to do. Could be one of the reasons why rail travel is exploding. if anyone has further infomration please post it.
