DG Thanks for the HEADS UP, but ... I'll be spending the weekend in Dallas at a LCCA Board meeting, and it's shaping up to be a knock-down, drag-out fight between warring factions of the Board. A 3 to 3 initial vote is likely, and the "swing vote" will likely be the newest member who is least experienced and least aware of the club's "corporate history." It'll be an exhausting time, and I'll return home on Sunday. I won't be up for a train ride on Monday. But thanks for offering.

Unfortunately, It will be during the work week during business hours (8am to 5pm) Currently they are looking to run three excursion runs on the afternoon of the 14th(again subkect to change). It will be pulled by a Diesel(Sorry to disappoint some, that it is not a Steam Loco). The word has it that will potentially be pulling a couple of the Heritage cars????. We need to keep this on the QC until it is made public. If you are interested - please email me and let me know that you are interested and how many tickets you will need. I will gather the request in date/time order, so if we exceed the # of tickets that are available, I will request tickets on a first come, first serve basis. Once, I get confirmation of the event and the tickets allocated, i will contact you via email, with the time slots available, again they will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis based on responses to my second email. Again, I ask that you keep this on the QC until we get an actual confirmation for this event. This is all the information that I have so far. I will provide updates via email when I know more.
