Greetings!

Thank you for joining us on this maiden voyage of the Depot Inn & Suites E-Newsletter!

We continually strive to improve the guest experience as we plan for the future, not only for the hotel, but for the planned Silver Rails Resort, and the activities of the American Passenger Rail Heritage Foundation.

As always, your feedback matters! Feel free to let us know what kind of stories we should be covering as we keep everyone abreast of developments in La Plata.

National Train Day - What a day!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A big thanks to everyone who joined us at National Train Day on May 9 at Los Angeles Union Station and Chicago Union Station! Kids young and young at heart loved the train whistles we gave out, and folks of all ages were surprised to learn how easy it is to get to La Plata from Los Angeles or Chicago via Amtrak. We of course appreciated all the well wishes and good feedback we got throughout the day.

Please be sure to check out excellent reports on the National Train Day festivities in LA from Carl Morrison and Chris Guenzler.
The History of Sleeping Cars 150th Anniversary Symposium

Last month, the Depot Inn & Suites was pleased to sponsor the The History of Sleeping Cars 150th Anniversary Symposium, hosted by the Passenger Train Historical Society (PTHS) in Chicago and Pullman, IL. There were numerous informative lectures and field trips revealing the history of sleeping cars in America by historians and other volunteers who work tirelessly to preserve our railroad heritage. Enjoy Carl Morrison's report on the Symposium. For more information about PTHS, click here.
