There is so much planned for this convention that takes full advantage of all of the great railroading and attractions of the Dallas/Fort Worth Area! The convention is super conveniently located smack-dab in the middle of DFW in historic Grapevine directly adjacent to DFW Airport, so getting to and from the convention is the easiest it could be. Once you arrive at the fine Gaylord Texas Resort and
Convention Center, the convention and train show is right there, and the many tours, trips, and activities will keep you as busy as you please with convenient scheduling and great transportation services. All of your favorite events will be there including SIG activities, layout tours, operating sessions, contest and layout displays, tons of clinics, a banquet, and lots of general interest tours and activities. Special to this convention are keynote speaker Spencer Christian from Tracks Ahead, BNSF HQ and Intermodal Yard tours, a UP Dallas International Terminal tour, a trip to the Texas State Railroad, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, the Museum of the American Railroad, the multi-day National Train Show, a Fort Worth & Western Railroad back shop tour, local historic stations, private railcars, and so much more!
