Amtrak trip winners announced

AMES, Iowa –  The railroads in Iowa and the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Office of Rail Transportation announce the winners of two round-trip Amtrak tickets to Chicago.

Sue Tutten of Des Moines and Miriam Fox of Davenport won the tickets from entries received at the Iowa State Fair booth cooperatively sponsored by a number of Iowa railroads and the Office of Rail Transportation. The booth provided fairgoers with current information on Iowa railroads and the role they play in Iowa’s economy. The tickets were donated by Amtrak.
