Photos from our

2008 Convention

in Topeka

We toured the new Marysville yard, Photo line! must be a train coming.

It even has heritage power

And 120 cars of coal

It's HOT out, and the shade of the bus is welcome

Lets ask our host when the next train is coming

Here it is, and Lou & Barbara Schmitz add to his collection of photos

Foreign power to liven up the troops

Some cars just keep on rolling up the miles

Lunch time in an air conditioned room

Smile!, Turkey, Ham or Beef?

Everyone enjoyed a few minutes sitting down in the AC.

Jeffery Energy Center: No coal train to dump, so lets pretend we are a coal car and roll right in.

Our Hostess and one of their conveyers & stock piles in the background

Baldwin City, time for a train ride, even if the colors are wrong

Mike takes it easy with the windows wide open and his feet up

Is this a Harriman Coach?

George checks with the Conductor to be sure his ticket is round trip as the others wait for a train

It must be coming, looks like a photo line forming

Burble,Burble, here comes the ALCO

It must be an inspection trip, with two cabeese behind the loco

Mike wants to know if we're there yet

Who got the cab ride?

Our furthest away members, Stan from the UK

And Stan from Down Under

Mike thought we were going to nowhere slowly, and he was right

The train returns from beyond Nowhere.
If the carpenter had made the sign a little longer, it might have been more correct, Now Here
