Help Utah Put A Train on It's Quarter

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

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)

How about putting “profit” joseph Smith on the back of the quearter.
