Thanks for posting this here. Also worth noting there will be trips around Horseshoe curve over Memorial Day weekend. Now just to figure out what I can do...

I was quite impressed to read these were public trips. One question however, if you want to ride the Rocky River-Bellevue portion, are you boarding at Bellevue and going to Rocky River then return or is it the other way around?

I see this thing sold out, but that they've started a wait list and are looking at adding more cars to the train.

Does anyone know what time it's departing Fort Wayne? Or even when it's expected to go through Bellevue?
Violins are stupid. Violas are where it's at.

If it goes as the last deadhead move did, they'll leave FW between 09-10:00.trainfan12 wrote:Does anyone know what time it's departing Fort Wayne? Or even when it's expected to go through Bellevue?
