When I lived in Denver I worked for the BN railroad at the COFC TOFC yard.
Most of the year we had 3 or 4 trailers of mail and 4 or 5 for UPS on every train.
From Thanksgiving to Christmas we had 50 or 60 trailers on every train for each of the above listed services.
All I can say is you guys in Spokane, Tacoma and Vancouver must order a lot of stuff from Chicago and east of there, because the inbound from Chicago and the outbound to Spokane, Tacoma and Vancouver were our two biggest trains for mail and UPS.
If I still lived in Denver I would come to the meet, eat and tune session, that is just a hop, skip and jump away.

Any one of those dates is open on my calendar right now, so the rest of you guys chime in with which date fits best for you......

However, you and I live close enough together to have our own meeting even before then.
