May 21st Run Day Recap - What an incredible day sharing our hobby with others
What an incredible day as our second public run day of the 2022 season is in the books. We had a great turnout by membership and the public to enjoy trains on such a warm day. It was also great to bring back the potluck and sharing all the great food with each other. It did apparently take bringing back the potluck for our grill master to come back after moving what seems like a decade ago. Bill thanks for firing up the grill and getting the hot dogs ready for everyone. A big thank you to everyone who volunteered throughout the day as we can’t do it without you.
Our next club fun day and meeting is also coming up on Saturday, June 4th. Don’t forget to mark your calendar and come out and enjoy the railroad with friends and family. We will stop for a brief meeting at 1 p.m. and then back to the fun. We will have some special workdays coming up doing something a little different. More details to follow on that.

First public run day of 2022 is in the books
This past Saturday, April 30th marked the first time since we had a spring public run day since 2019. Thank you to all the visitors, club members, and volunteers who came out and made the day such a big hit. We gave nearly 700 rides over the course of 3 1/2 hours with three steam engines and two diesel locomotives throughout the afternoon. Here are a few pictures from the day and we look forward to seeing everyone at our next public train ride day on Saturday, May 21st from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Here is a quick series of videos of one of our locomotives hauling passengers this past weekend. The video is of a 2-8-4 Berkshire locomotive which is modeled after real the 757 Nickle Plate Railroad steam engine which is currently undergoing a cosmetic restoration project at The Mad River & Nickle Plate Railroad Museum.

Again, from the board we want to thank everyone involved in making the day a success. We had several visitors comment on how excited there where to see us open and all the great work the club had done during the COVID years.
Our next public run day is coming up on Saturday, May 21st with our workday scheduled for Saturday, May 14th. More information regarding both days will follow but several people have asked if we could bring back the run day potluck with hot dogs so we will be asking you in a follow up email if you are interested bringing it back.
And finally several members will be traveling to spring meetings coming up this week at Mid-South Live Steamers and Palmetto Live Steamers. Don’t forget to print out some flyers regarding our Fall Meet. Here is a link to the flyer for you to print out - Fall Meet Flyer. If you have any questions please let us know.
