The Midwest Sojourn is a proposed Railfan Tour for 6 people on a self drive tour commencing and ending at Kansas City Missouri.

Initial itinerary is still in the planning stage, but is coming together nicely.

The tour will last approximately 21 days and will cover railfan hotspots such as:

Kansas City MO
Deshler OH
Fostoria OH
Indianapolis IN
Dayton OH
Terre Haute IN
Cumberland MD
Horseshoe Curve PA
Altoona PA
Alexandria VA
Ruther Glen VA
Doswell VA
Ashland VA
Richmond VA
Lynchburg VA
Roanoke VA
Lexington KY
Louisville KY
Saint Louis MO

After reading this list, please feel free to get back to me with any further suggestions or places of (rail) interest that you think would be worth visiting.

I'm working on an option where we spend another 3-4 days travelling to North Platte Nebraska at the end of the tour. As always, I'm open to good ideas and options.

An event of this size takes a bit of orgaising, and as each phase is completed, I'll upload a link to it on this page. Check back often.
