Dear Minn-Rail Friends,

Due to the on-going uncertainty around the status of the Covid-19 virus and the vaccine implementation, we have decided to postpone our next Minn-Rail event currently scheduled for October 2021. At this point, we do not have a new date for the event but are looking at potential dates in 2022 as well as considering simply cancelling altogether (with the next event in October 2023 as currently planned). We will keep you informed of our decision making status via the Minn-Rail.org website so check back here periodically for updates. Be assured that any potential dates in 2022 that we think may work would be vetted with planners for regularly scheduled 2022 operations events in other cities to make sure they are comfortable with dates we might use. Also, we will make sure any rescheduled date we do select, if any, is out at least 9-10 months so there is a normal time period between announcing the event and it taking place so nothing is rushed. Finally, the health and safety of you, our guests, and of our layout owners is what is driving this decision. Thanks for your understanding and stay well.

Regards,
The Minn-Rail Committee
