I just received the preliminary schedule of railfan activities
for the first six months of 85 from the 20th Century Railroad
Club in Chicago.  Here is a list of the highlights.

2/17      Jack Benny 39th Birthday Special to Waukegan.  

4/27-28   RAILFAIR 85 WEEKEND

5/3-5     Excursion to St Joseph Mich for Blossom Time Festival

5/11      Excursion to Holland Mich for Tulip Festival

5/25-27   Excursion to Toronto, Canada

6/8       1 day excursion to Railroad Days in Galesburg, Il

6/29      1 day Wisconsin Dells Excursion

There are also a number of 1 and 2 day "Mystery trips" where a
"crime" takes place on the trip and everyone works to find the
guilty party.

Many of their trips use their own private car(s) attached to the
end of regular Amtrak trains.

More details and prices are available from  the club at:
         20th Century Railroad Club
         509 W. Roosevelt Road
         Chicago, Ill    60607

         (312) 829-4500
