Friends of the Santa Maria Valley Railroad had a booth today at the Goleta Railroad Days. Activities included handcar rides, tour of the agent’s residence, 7.5″ gauge train rides, exhibits by Amtrak, Operation Lifesaver, etc., and the first public appearance of Ken Kelley’s very cool model of the Santa Barbara train station.

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
