Two weekends ago the Model Railroad Club three day show at Colony Cottage drew 8,000 visitors. I'm sure a lot of Villagers have traveled via the Autotrain to Virginia, I have three times, or Amtrak in general. I'm sure many have traveled in Europe and Canada via some of the scenic train offerings. I believe a square geared toward trains and station depots would lend a nostalgic feel and could have many posibilities as far as design, structure and layout.

Here's the Autotrain station in Sanford, about 75 minutes east of here.
