16, 2022 Meeting
Our September
program will be given by Bill Hough. It will show a video shoot by
Clay Ryder of a railfan trip covering Baltimore, Alexandria, and various
locations in Pennsylvania. Clay shot a video that is just over an hour
long with a bonus section featuring an out-the-window view of our ride
on Strasburg RR.
Book Sale Update!
Central Coast received a donation of many railroad-related books from longtime member Conrad Gleason. The collection includes about 1000 hardcover books, and another 1000 in soft bindings. We will offer these for sale at the next several Chapter meetings. Since it is not practical to transport all of the books to the meetings, we will bring a small, random subset about 100 to each meeting.
Many of the books are listed online with prices at http://members.trainorders.com/clem. We will update the list as time permits. If you wish to purchase any of these titles please send an email expressing the title or titles you wish to buy and the date you will be attending a meeting to: central_coast_chapter@yahoo.com.
