Subsequent pages under this title page outline details for my proposed railfan tours to the USA and Canada.

The intent is to conduct at least one of these tours every year, however demand may see all three being conducted each year.

The tours commence at Auckland, New Zealand and are aimed at the New Zealand railfan, however participants from other countries are welcome to attend and can meet us at a pre-determined location in the USA or Canada. Costs will be adjusted accordingly.

Each tour will be escorted by myself. I'm an open minded, relaxed 46yo railfan with a military background, and I've had plenty of driving experience in both the USA and Canada. I'm fluent in Canadianese and Americanese too. 

There are three main tours being planned:

This tour is going ahead in March / April 2013 and is being organised by Dave Simpson of Hamilton. This tour covers California, Nevada and Arizona, with the focus being the Mojave Desert, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco and surrounding areas.

This tour is in the initial planning stages but is progressing well. It covers Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky. Registrations of interest are now being accepted. No dates have been set for this trip, but I'm aiming for a summer time frame.

This tour covers British Columbia and Alberta, Montana and Washington. Registrations of interest are now being accepted. No dates have been set for the first trip, however late spring when there's still a bit of snow on the peaks would be ideal.
