Announced earlier this morning. If the moderators think this should be moved somewhere else, fine, but I think it has implications for overall preservation and tourist railroading.

The 2020 NRHS Convention had been planned for next week at Knott's Berry Farm Hotel in Buena Park CA. They reschedulled it once and have now cancelled it completely.

The plan had been to ride buses around Southern Cal visiting various rail sites. With Social Distancing this is impractical, so the 2020 Convention has been cancelled.

Walter Knott, who grew boysenberries in Buena Park, went to Durango in 1951 and purchased two C-19 2-8-0's, D&RGW 340 and RGS 41; RGS Goose 3, and several passenger cars. He built the Ghost Town and Calico RR in Buena Park where this equipment still runs.
