Greetings fellow National Railway Historical Society, Western Kentucky Chapter members. It is March, 2019 and the word for the day is “wet”! We certainly have had our share of rain. Alas, I’m willing to bet, it will dry out. And possibly, more than we would like!

     I am writing this on March 9. Earlier I had text Matt Gentry that I needed a non-CSX rail-fan fix. As luck would have it, CSX sent a BNSF train southbound and I was able to see it twice no less. Good things come to those who wait. One would think an individual who builds a house beside a busy rail line on purpose no less, would not want to travel to see trains. Quite the opposite. I think serval of us to enjoy traveling and rail fanning. With spring and summer on the way, I’m sure several of us will be out and about. Which led me to a subject matter!

     Secretary-Treasurer Bill Farrell has mentioned having a Chapter outing this year. He has a few ideas. I would like to encourage others to come up with an idea as well. I plan to have my annual Train Day in the Gap sometime in May. The exact date and time are forthcoming. Bill Farrell should also have some information regarding Nashville Steam and Kentucky Railway Museum. I believe he will be presenting a donation idea to these two institutions. Hopefully our committee regarding the sall layouts and operating sessions will have some info for us this month as well.

     All in all 2019 has gotten off to a very good start. Our round robin train group has had a good time. Our activities have been spot on and we have more coming down the pike. Please take time to attend a meeting and bring a friend. See you soon.
