A very nice newspaper story about last weekend's excursions. It ran as the lead story in the Monday Roanoke Times. The photo gallery has some nice shots of the historic equipment on the train. We have been getting some good PR lately including a feature article in a new local magazine. http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/225630 |

I didn't get to see the excursion, but I definately heard a lot of good reports on it. Congrats to the Roanoke Chapter for their success. I suppose the next excursion will be steam powered right? :) Martin |
