Members are invited to this meeting as we get the 2926 restoration back on the rails.   Breakfast Burritos will be supplied.   Bring your own coffee.   After the meeting stay to help with some work on your favorite locomotive and tool car.   A new member orientation and safety training in the reefer with President Hartshorne and Chief Safety Officer Spargo will immediately follow the meeting.

Born in May 1944 the AT&SF 2926 ran a million miles in the American Southwest before being retired in an Albuquerque City park in 1953.   Rescued from that park in 2000 the giant steam locomotive is being restored to operation by the all volunteer crew of the New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society.

The show opens 3 -7 PM with a talk by Gayle about his work.   You've probably seen some of it before.   Gayle has generously provided a new and unique watercolor featuring the 2926 each year that is used as our Christmas card for the NMSL&RHS.   The Shaffer restaurant nearby (which includes more of Gayle's work - on the ceiling) is suggested as a great place to eat so you don't drive home hungry.
