Parlor Car Chats
by admin on May.08, 2020, under SLORRM
A few of us are starting a new program at the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum. We’re calling it Parlor Car Chats. Kinda like fireside chats, these are virtual (online) get-togethers where a presenter has a favorite topic to talk about and maybe show photos/graphics/etc., railroad-related, of course, and folks can join from anywhere. The first one is scheduled for May 16th at 10am PDT. I’m the presenter and will be doing a virtual travelogue on the track segment from San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara, CA. The next one I’ll offer on May 30th at 10am PDT will be about the 150th Golden Spike anniversary.

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
