Interesting article on CNN.com today... http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/02/04/time.warp.irpt/index.html?hpt=C1 Not directly related to railroad preservation but interesting nontheless. Between these folks and the seemingly increasing popularity of the "Steampunk" genre, it seems like a perfect market for railroad preservation organizations to cater to, or to try to tap for potential volunteers. |
