Our 2023 convention in Pasco July 19-22 is now history. To those who attended, thank you for being there. Special thanks go to (1) Ken Johnsen of Yakima Valley Trolleys for hosting rides on the 1930 YVT Brill car as well as a superb night photo session, (2) Ed Spaulding of Eagle Cap Railroad for arranging our special train over the remote portions of the Joseph Branch, (3) John Gray and Steve Sandberg for explaining to us their outstanding restoration efforts at Railroading Heritage of Midwest America, and (4) UPHS Board members George Luchs and Wayne Monger for all their leg work setting up the convention. Next year May 8-11, we will finally return to the South Central District after many years and hold our convention at the Southern California Railway Museum in Perris, CA.
Please note the Calendar Call for photo submissions elsewhere in this column. We always can use great photographs from our members for the calendar. I also encourage you to prepare and submit articles on UP history for publication in The Streamliner.
As always, I would be glad to hear your suggestions about how to improve the Society, just email me at president@uphs.org. Best regards, Rob Leachman
