As most of you know each state is putting a design on the Quarter Coin to honor its heritage. Utah is about to submit its choice to the US Mint and is having a public poll to help determine which one it will be.
The choices are a Snow Boarder (Trendy), a beehive (Boring Utah thing) and the Jupiter and 119 meeting at Promontory, UT for the joining of the rails (YES).
The voting is open till May 8th online at http://arts.utah.gov/quarter/survey.html . Please everyone go vote for the only decent design there (That would be the trains in case you are unclear on it) Since they are scheduled to announce the winner on May 10th, I am hoping that is an indicator the the train design will go forward, but every vote will help.
Remember as they say in Chicago, Vote Early and Vote often. Since they ask for a name with each vote, please make sure your spouse, children, grandparents, pets and dead relatives are in on the action.
(I am crossposting this to the major train forums, my apologies if you see it more than once)
Or you could just make up names using combinations from the phone book. Hopefully the people doing the survey do not check for unique IP addresses.[;)]
Easy. Vote at home, then from work, then from your girlfriend’s*, then from the library,an internet cafe…[;)] (*Those of you that are married, vote from your in-law’s or, heh heh, both![}:)])
Thats a Keystone… Aside from PRR using it for their logo, it has nothing to do with the PRR or any RR’s.
Pennsylvania is the Keystone State - thats why its there.
A KEYSTONE is a building support element a “central wedge-shaped stone of an arch that locks its parts together. Also called headstone.”
"The central supporting element of a whole. "
I went to this site and I voted for the Promontory design. In the comment box I stated that this choice is the only choice and that the other two are innapropriate.
