Front Royal 2010 Convention

[NW Mailing List]

Join us in Front Royal for our 26th Annual Convention, the first ever 
on the Shenandoah Division!

As always, the railroad has changed a lot since the days of lumbering 
steam-powered Y's dragging freight and streamlined K's providing 
through Pullman service from New York. But big-time railroading in 
these parts is far from a distant memory.

We'll see how Norfolk Southern is upgrading its lines, adding second 
track, improving junctions, and increasing train speeds as part of 
its Crescent Corridor project to move even more freight than ever. 
We'll visit the Virginia Inland Port, an intermodal terminal 
providing international container shipping and customs service 220 
miles from the ports at Norfolk.

We'll also be returning to the past by visiting the many surviving 
stations still standing along the Hagerstown District.
