This year, a new Federal Law goes into effect (Energy Policy Act of 2005) that extends Daylight Savings Time. It just so happens that the new start date falls on the night of Winterail, meaning we will all lose an hour of sleep following the show.
For all of the out-of-towners (like me), this is really going to hurt. But then again, I've never known railfans to sleep in after Winterail anyway, so it probably doesn't matter that much.
Listed below are the begin/end dates for Daylight Savings Time.
2002 - April 7 to October 27
2003 - April 6 to October 26
2004 - April 4 to October 31
2005 - April 3 to October 30
2006 - April 2 to October 29
2007 - March 11 to November 4
2008 - March 9 to November 2
2009 - March 8 to November 1
2010 - March 14 to November 7
2011 - March 13 to November 6
2012 - March 11 to November 4
By the way, Vic Neves informed me that less than 50 Winterail tickets are left.
