The Museum is excited to let everyone know about the preparations for a celebration tomorrow! The National Railroad Museum has been invited by The Gresley Society in England to participate in celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Sir Nigel Gresley on June 19th.
Sir Gresley designed many British locomotives including the Class A4, like the London and North Eastern No. 60008 "Dwight D. Eisenhower" that is part of the National Railroad Museum's collection.
Pictured is our Curator, Daniel Liedtke, and our CEO, Jacqueline Frank, preparing and putting the Gresley 150 Anniversary headboard in place. Check back tomorrow for more on this wonderful celebration! For more about the Gresley Society, see their website here: https://gresley.org/.
