The Kentucky Derby with The Society of International Railway Travelers

This membership association of rail travelers is currently offering some wonderful U.S. rail trips, including an April 2003 Kentucky Derby Train. Departing on April 30, 2003, travelers will depart St. Paul, Minnesota, after spending the previous night in the four-diamond St. Paul Hotel. The Royal Canadian Pacific train will take you on an overnight ride to Chicago, where you will continue on to Jeffersonville, Kentucky, across the river from Louisville, home of Churchill Downs and the world famous Kentucky Derby.

The next day, a short motorcoach ride will take you to Louisville and Churchill Downs, where you will have a covered box seat for the 129th running of the Kentucky Derby. Travelers will also be treated to a tour of two famous horse farms in the beautiful countryside surrounding Louisville, the Darby Dan Farm and the Ashford Stud Farm.

Churchill DownsThe meals on IRT Society tours are always excellent, as is the hospitality. The tour dates are April 30, 2003 through May 2, 2003, and you can get more information about this tour at the Society's website or by email: tourdesk@irtsociety.com.
