Invitation: Seatrain Lines Slide Show
This Friday, February 18, 2011
Feel free to forward this invitation to your friends
The Oldest Model Railroad Club in America invites you.
The New York Society of Model Engineers will be hosting a Slide Show covering the Seatrain Operations of shipping railroad cars by oceangoing ships. Seatrain was located in Edgewater, NJ during the late 1950s. Seatrain was noted for shipping fully loaded railroad cars to Havana, Cuba and Puerto Rico.
The presentation will be given by noted rail photographer Bob Mohowski.
Bob presently has a ten page article on Seatrain operations in the Spring 2011 issue of Kalmbach's Classic Trains. This digital slide show will expand on the article and will feature numerous photographs that were not in the article.
Due to the strong response to this slide show it has been moved from NYSME HQ to larger location permitting even more people to attend. Non-NYSME members are welcome!
