Yeah, The bus roadeo is saturday, September 15th 2007@ the Cornwell Hights parking lot #2. The Train Station accesable by the R7 regional rail.

The actual roadeo starts @ 8am with the drivers cometing at 8 as well




The Septa rail roadeo (which not to many transit fans go to) is 2 weeks later at the Norristown High speed yards @69th street begining @9 o'clock

I might be coming though it's a 2 hour drive from DC <_<

LOL!!!! ha ha ha ha ha

What they do at the rail roadeo is they do like an inspection of the train and how to get out with a ladder that is equipped on the train just in case something happens, and then they take you to the first stop which is parkveiw, i belive and have you drive the train really fast till you get to this barrel thing and you cant knock it down. but the goal is to see what operator can get the closes to it...

They said that last year as well. From my understanding, the roadeos have NEVER been open to the public. However, they never seemed to mind us transit buffs coming to them. To all of our true transit fans on here, I have this to tell you. PLEASE IGNORE ANYTHING YOU SEE OR HEAR ABOUT THE ROADEO BEING CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRIMARILY AIMED AT THE DRIVERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE ALWAYS WELCOMED US! AS LONG AS WE DON'T DO ANYTHING OUT OF LINE, WE WILL BE FINE (THIS INCLUDES THE REVVING OF THE ENGINES, PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!
