    Vol. 18 July 2010 No. 7 Dale Diacont has the program for the July, 2010, meeting . In his own words: My presentation for the Blue Ridge Chapter, NRHS, at the July meeting is entitled "Winter along the Wasatch - 2010." Robert Kaplan and I flew to Salt Lake City on February 3, 2010, for the Nevada Northern winter charter that weekend. We spent the next six days on Soldier Summit, Salt Lake City, Echo Canyon and Ogden, UT. My presentation will reflect our time in a very frigid Utah along with some timetable excerpts and maps for the education of our members that may not be familiar with the territory. Believe me, it was my first trip to Utah as a destination and not an enroute location -- and it certainly was a learning experience!! There's lots of stuff to see and do out there in the shadows of the snow- covered Wasatch. Sincerely hope to see you there.

Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? Track twenty-nine Harry Warren 1941 Ever since Glen Miller and his Orchestra popularized the “Chattanooga Choo Choo” back in 1941 in “Sun Valley Serenade,” there has been a certain mystique that has become associ- ated with the City of Chattanooga, Terminal Station, and the entire railroad system in the area. The song was written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren while traveling on the South- ern Railway’s “Birmingham Special” train. The song tells the story of traveling from New York City to Chattanooga by train. While that is not possible today, you will have the oppor- tunity to catch the spirit and enthusiasm of Chattanooga during the National Railway Histori- cal Society’s 2007 Convention in Chattanooga.
