May 1, 2015 Dear All: by Now, I Trust Those That Were Able to Get to York Are Back Home Safe and Enjoying Those Treasures You Brought Home May 1, 2015 Dear All: By now, I trust those that were able to get to York are back home safe and enjoying those treasures you brought home. Did you see the sign on the York fence? It read “TOY TRAIN EXTRAVAGANZA THURSDAY – FRIDAY – SATURDAY ALL ARE WELCOME.” I wonder how many folks took us up on this fabulous offer to join us for a great show? While the introduction of the public to York has been something that has caused great discussion, one thing I believe we can ALL agree on is that the hobby and the Club needs members and members that are younger than me so that it lives on. We may not all agree on how to go about doing this, but I applaud Eastern in their attempt to invigorate the public into seeing what we all find so great about the hobby. It would seem the only way we can keep this a totally closed event is if we ALL attended and brought two people with us each time and at least one of them joined, short of this, it seems we must find ways to bring in others. So, while we may not all agree on the opening of York to the public, doing nothing I’m afraid will find the Club without members. So let’s not gripe about should it or should it not be open to the public, let us gripe about not having others interested in being part of the hobby and not having someone to share our collection and love of the hobby. BRAVO Eastern, kudos for trying, do not stop trying, this hobby is worth keeping alive! I want to thank everyone who stopped by to say hello, it’s always great to meet folks I’ve been talking with thru email and to see familiar faces and friends that I don’t see too often. I hope you had a chance to meet those that volunteer at the table for it’s a truly a team effort. I hope now that York has come and gone, you will be joining us at the May 9 VTC/WB&A Train show in Fredericksburg as a table holder and/or patron. I think you would agree that with the publicity this show has received it will be a huge success and given it’s the first time, folks will be curious to see what it’s all about, so don’t be left out, come on our and set up a table. I’m happy to say that the National Capital Trackers will be setting up, Bruce Greenberg will be presenting information, Allan Crotts will be our train doctor and Robbie Schroeder will be our parts person, plus those that have already reserved a table that will be filled with treasures. There will also be a WB&A and a VTC White Elephant table. Please contact Nada Boswell [email protected] if you’re interested in placing an item on the white elephant table so that she can provide you with details and information. 2 As a reminder, the next “How To” Session will be at the June 7 mini‐meet after the general business and swap meet and it will be on scenery! We will be providing more details soon, so watch for the information or reach out to Nada [email protected] if you’d like more information or would like to present on this subject.

  • AAPRCO & RPCA Members Meet to Develop Their Response to New Amtrak Regulations
    Volume 1 Issue 6 May 2018 AAPRCO & RPCA members meet to develop their response to new Amtrak regulations Members of the two associations met in New Orleans last week to further develop their response to new regulations being imposed by Amtrak on their members’ private railroad car businesses. Several of those vintage railroad cars were parked in New Orleans Union Station. “Most of our owners are small business people, and these new policies are forcing many of them to close or curtail their operations,” said AAPRCO President Bob Donnelley. “It is also negatively impacting their employees, suppliers and the hospitality industry that works with these private rail car trips,” added RPCA President Roger Fuehring. Currently about 200 private cars travel hundreds of thousands of miles behind regularly scheduled Amtrak trains each year. Along with special train excursions, they add nearly $10 million dollars in high margin revenue annually to the bottom line of the tax-payer subsidized passenger railroad. A 12% rate increase was imposed May 1 with just two weeks’ notice . This followed a longstanding pattern of increases taking effect annually on October 1. Cost data is being developed by economic expert Bruce Horowitz for presentation to Amtrak as are legal options. Members of both organizations are being asked to continue writing their Congress members and engaging the press. Social media is being activated and you are encouraged to follow AAPRCO on Facebook and twitter. Successes on the legislative front include this Congressional letter sent to Amtrak's president and the Board and inclusion of private car and charter train issues in recent hearings.

    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.
