The 2013 operating schedule for the CA&E wood cars has been finalized. Fairly consistently, the consist will consist of two of the three cars in rotation for regular operation (308, 309 and 319). All operations are dependent upon weather and mechanical considerations,
of course, but we expect that the cars will operate on most, if not
all, of these days: May 27th (Memorial Day/Founders Day), June 8th-9th (RPO Days), June 22nd-23rd (Chicago Day), July 4th (Independence Day), July 7th (Trolley Parade only - not in revenue service), August 4th (Vintage Transport Extravaganza), August 31st-September 1st-September 2nd (Labor Day Weekend), September 14th (Museum Showcase Weekend).
If you're rules-qualified, please sign up for a couple of days - we're always in need of motormen, conductors and trainmen. Thanks!

This is a welcome post for those of us who need to travel a long distance to enjoy the operation of some of these great cars. Is there similar information available for the steel cars (409/460/431/451?) and the North Shore cars?
If I could make it out to the museum every weekend, it wouldn't matter (and I'd be volunteering, as well).
Thanks for the consideration and the terrific post.
