A Wonderful Fall Meet Weekend at the Railroad

This past weekend was another exciting and memorable time around the railroad as we hosted our annual Fall Meet. The event brought together a fantastic mix of familiar faces and first-time visitors, all eager to share in the fun and energy that make this tradition so special.
From the moment the first whistle blew, the railroad truly came alive. Throughout the weekend, nearly a dozen trains could be seen running at any given time, filling the air with the sound of steam, laughter, and good company. Whether it was watching the trains glide along the track or catching up with friends trackside, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Saturday was a highlight, as always, with our annual cookout. The food spread seemed endless—enough to feed an army—and no one went home hungry. It was the perfect opportunity for members and guests to gather, share stories, and celebrate another successful year together.
A very special thank you goes out to the dedicated members who spent Wednesday through Sunday morning helping set up, standing guard, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Your time around the campfire, keeping everyone entertained and the railroad safe, truly made the event shine.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us this year and helped keep this tradition alive. If you couldn’t make it, we hope to see you at our next event. Until then, happy railroading!

Our 4th Annual Fall meet is a wrap. Thank you to everyone who came and made it a success.
The 2024 Fall meet is in the books and what an exciting weekend the railroad experienced. A big thank you to our onsite coordinator, Wes for making sure everything happened as it needed including overnight security, we could not have done it without all he did throughout the weekend. Another big thank you goes out to Norm and Susan for making sure everyone got fed on Saturday cooking up hamburgers, hot dogs, and more. We had several bring desserts and by the time lunch was over everyone said they ate way too much.

2023 Fall Meet is a wrap
The weekend weather was just as great as our 3rd Annual Fall Meet. A thank you to our Fall Meet crew who helped make the event run without a hitch. The crew took care of setup, onsite security, parking, Saturday lunch, and more. The crew consisted of Dave L, Wes, Scott, Sherry, Norm, Susan and others.
Starting next year, we are making some adjustments to the NGLS fall meet starting with shifting our meet to the 4th weekend in October. This is being done in order to reduce conflicts with other established meets going on in October. This should allow both NGLS members and others in the hobby an opportunity to attend more fall meets going on in our region. Our 2024 Fall Meet dates will be Thursday, October 24th through Sunday, October 27th. Mark your calendar and start spreading the word.
Speaking of the calendar our last Public Run Day of the 2023 season will be Saturday, November 4th. We are expecting another great turnout from our visitors, members, and locomotives. While the public run day season is coming to a close, we still have other club activities on the calendar for this year including our annual Leftover Turkey Fun Run, December Club Meeting, and more.
