Z Riders Train Excursion Memorandum of Agreement  

Welcome to the GWRRA GA-Z 3rd Annual Train Excursion.  This year’s train ride will be on the Tennessee Valley Railroad Loop Excursion the weekend of October 17-19, 2008.

We will depart from the Fairburn Dunkn’ Donuts on Friday October 17.  We will stay at the Magnuson Inn located in Sweetwater, TN.   Cost for the hotel is $58 per night plus tax for a total of $66.27 per night.  The phone number is 423-337-3541.   Ask for a Chapter Z room.  You are responsible for making and/or cancelling your own hotel reservation. 

The train ride will be on Saturday October 18.  We will be departing the hotel around 8:00 am to ride down to the Etowah Depot.  There is no parking where we board the train, so we will ride buses provided by the railroad that will take us to the train.  The buses will leave the depot at 9:15 am.  The train ride lasts approximately 3 ½ hours.  There are no stops on the train ride allowing you to get off the train.  There is no smoking allowed on the train.   We should arrive back at the depot by approximately 1:00 pm. 

There may be other activities planned after the train ride.   We are planning on returning to the Atlanta area on Sunday.
