58th FALL MEET WEEKEND September 17th, 18th and 19th, 2010. This meet will
feature the re-dedication of our High Line track
which has beentotally rebuilt. A re-dedication and Golden
Spike ceremony honoring the completion
of the three year project will occur on Saturday at
4:30 PM. This meet will be open to the public from
10:00 AM through 3:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. During
this time, the Valley line will be open
to members of live steam clubs only and the entire ground
track available for weekend running.
Rides to the public will be on the ground line only.
Attached is a listing of motels in the area. Plan on booking your rooms now as it is the same weekend as the Big E Fair in West Springfield, Massachusetts. We have plenty of room for campers/trailers/tents. As we are planning on a large group of campers, our electrical system will not be able to carry everyone. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that you bring a generator. We do have a small number of electrical hook-ups, however they will be on a first come/first serve basis. As many of you know, we have bathroom facilities with a shower.
Meals will be available from Friday morning through Sunday afternoon.
This event is great for the entire family, even for the members of the family who are not train enthusiasts. There is plenty to do in the area, as you are very close to the foothills of the renowned Berkshire Mountains. Riding your train at night you will be amazed at the number of stars in this part of Massachusetts. All that is required to run trains at night is to have proper front and rear lighting. Whistles and horns can not be used after 9:00 p.m.
A catered Pig Roast dinner will be offered on Saturday, September 18th at 5:00 PM. The cost for the Pig Roast is $17.00 per person. Children under 10 years of age are free. Reservations are reguired and should be made no later than September 5th, 2010. Contact Joedy Hicks at 860-379-8975 or via e-mail at jdhicks2010@aol.com
We are looking forward to seeing you at our 58th Fall Meet Weekend Meet.
