For the first time, AOSR is having three open tours on June 9, with the possibility of more if that day is well attended. Here's the link:

In a nutshell:
--$20 per person, cash only, pay when you get there. On that day, and that day only, you don't have to be part of a group.
--Use the "Contact Us" form to express interest and specify a time. Nobody knows whether the available space will fill up.
--Dressfor safety in a working roundhouse. Info is on the page.
--Group tours can now be booked on extra days and you need 30 people, not 40.
The roundhouse is in NE Ohio about...I'll guess ten miles west of Interstate 77 at the Dover/Sugarcreek exit. You can take the main road through Sugarcreek, hang a left on 93 and drive to Smokey Lane, or you can go into Sugarcreek, find the depot and follow the tracks. Either way, the roundhouse is hard to miss.
