We're T-minus 1 week from the start of TRAIN 2005. Long range weather forecast looks pretty good. Highs will be around 70 with the lows around 50 (plus or minus a couple of degrees). I'd suggest bringing a light jacket but you won't need any winter clothing.Our feature presentation at the Banquet is going to be a tribute to Jim Bistline.We have 160 total registrants at the moment and there will 30 vendor booths. There are still some hotel rooms available at the convention rate so if you haven't registered yet, git-r-dun!As always, you can get the latest at http://www.tvrail.com/train2005/

My memory of Jim is a conversation about what he did in the Army AFTER the war. He was one of the law clerks at Nuremburg who had to go through the German papers to gather evidence of their crimes. He assured me that what he found was thorough and damming.James F. BoylanGeneral Freight AgentTyburn Railroad Co.Fairless, Pa.
