The Iowa Interstate Railroad and Patriot Renewable Fuels, Inc will be participating in Geneseo’s Annual Planes, Trains & Automobiles event on Saturday, September 10, 2011.
New and exciting for this year will be the addition of 3 train rides pulled behind a 2-10-2 coal fired steam locomotive. The train will travel from Geneseo to Annawan and back, roughly an hour and a half round trip. Departure times offered are 9:30AM, 11:45AM and 2PM. Tickets for the Annawan Excursion are just $12.50 for adults and $6.25 for children 2-12. Kids under 2 are FREE. For more information or to purchase tickets, please contact the Geneseo Chamber of Commerce at 309-944-2686. Be a part of history and take advantage of this unique opportunity.
IAIS 6988 is expected to be positioned on the west end of the train with Patriot Fuels (ex-IAIS) 250 positioned on the east end. Several of the RRDX commuter coaches will be used on the train.
