Last Saturday, May 24, we found the crossbeam of our sign frame about 5 feet from the posts and the sign was across the parking lot. No other damage, so I guess we had our own little microburst.

The westbound light power move usually comes after the super long train comes through. Today the power move came through first.

Our second Cameron Train Show is in the books. Every aspect of the show was better than last years. There were lots of positive comments and the vendors sold a lot of model train equipment. As always, the train layouts were a huge hit with the over 150 kids attending and participating in our new kid friendly activities. Pictured here are the Directors and volunteers from the Rockdale I&GN Depot, Eagle Lake Depot, LaGrange Depot, Hearne Depot, Deanville Depot, San Antonio Railroad Museum and the Milam County Railroad Museum. We have forged strong friendships with these amazing folks to promote the preservation of Railroad history in Texas. We have made a commitment to expand our outreach to all Texas Railroad Museums and Depots in our State in the coming months and years. I want to thank our new Education Director Ashley Prine and all of our volunteers, parents of our Jr. Engineers and our Railroad Museum Association members for their help today. We are truly blessed by their help and our community support.
