Anyone going? I got tickets for my fiance and I. It seems like a really unique opportunity to see some things an average Metra rider wouldn't experience.

It was definitely an awesome experience. I was really neat to see how much pride Metra has in its heritage. One really cool fact one of the employees pointed out it that over the door of every coach and cab car there is a small logo showing the cars original owner. Here is a link to the pics from the trip. White River really did put on a great excursion. www.pbase.com/edgecrusher/white_river_rocket_excursion&page=all

Surprised that most of the stations are not "tagged" to death by local "artists"
