Sunday, 11 March at 10:00am. The meeting will be held at the same
location as last year:

employees. The original ROW and Lake Shore Park depot (heavily modified)
can still be easily seen. The board will be offering coffee and juice
along with donuts and pastries. Please feel free to bring a baked
good to share. The doors will open at 9:00 AM and the meeting will

Bill Wheeler
| (17 December 2017)
Bruce Stuart reports that long time member Bill Wheeler has passed this
weekend. Bill has been a member of CVRTC since 1994. For many of our
current members, they might not have had the opportunity to have met Bill
or to have seen him around the engine house. But, there was a time before
contending with some health issues, Bill was an absolute staple in the
ranks of CVRTC.

New England Southern
  (21 & 22 October 2017)
It's been a busy month on the New England Southern Railroad, as they're taking
advantage of the cool fall days to get track work projects done. Our members
have been helping out with pulling spikes, and sorting tie plates. On the
left, Jon and Clif start cutting on the right-of-way near Manville Road, the
State will be dumping the old fill in this area. On the right, Norm and Jon
have finished bringing good tie plates to Canterbury, and have patrolled down
to "Overlook" to keep track on the river's erosion. Thanks to everyone who
has been helping out!

Clearing the Trail
 (12 October 2017)
The Thursday Gang has been out patrolling the line, and keeping it
open for everyone to enjoy. To left, we see a large a tree that came down,
blocking the corridor. Dave reports that the guys spent a half hour with
a chain saw, cutting up the tree and clearing the trail.
