N&W/NS mini-meet at Boyce, Virginia, on Saturday, October 2.

[NW Mailing List]

Frank:
 
Sounds interesting, but need a few more specifics -
- Is this an organized event similar to the very successful Bristol  
mini-con some months ago, or a more informal "y'all come" event tied to the  
Centennial celebration?
- If you have a schedule, what's the starting time?
 
Thanks,
 
Dave Phelps

Hello, all:

Please mark your  calendars for a Norfolk & Western/Norfolk Southern 
mini-meet at the former  N&W Railway station, Boyce, Virginia, milepost H46-1, on 
Saturday, October  2.  You may come earlier in the day for some railfanning 
on the  Hagerstown District or watching CSXT traffic at Shenandoah Junction 
about 30  minutes to the north.

This date coincides with the Town of Boyce  Centennial celebration.  There 
will be a parade at 1:30 PM and cake  cutting at 5 PM.  Trains will be held 
outside of town during the parade,  so there should be plenty of late 
afternoon and evening activity.

A  bring-something-to-share cook out will begin at 6:30 PM.  Meanwhile, the 
 NS chatter and sharing are encouraged; horseplay and Rule G infractions  
aren't.

There is an outdoor electrical outlet for plugging in laptops  or radios in 
the parking lot.  Wireless Internet access is available, but  you'll need 
to get the encryption key via prior email.

For those  wanting to stay until dusk and into the evening, there will be a 
digital slide  show of railway photos beginning around 8 PM.  If you have 
some good  N&W or NS material to share, please volunteer to show your photos. 
  The evening will likely conclude around 11 PM but can continue as long as 
 there are willing presenters.

Hope to see you next month,
