Thanks, Altoona Works Chapter, for Hosting a Wonderful Annual Meeting

Our 2024 annual meeting concluded Saturday with a delicious barbecue picnic at the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum in which our intrepid members gathered under the tents and basked in the warmth of the companionship of good friends.

We wish our members and their guests who attended a safe trip home and we look forward to seeing them and all of you next year in Harrisburg.

Restoration of PRR K4s 1361

The Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum is undertaking a very extensive and professional restoration of 1361 that will ensure many years of operation. But the effort is not inexpensive. At the museum's open house on the last day of the Annual Meeting you will be able to examine the new firebox under construction, using previous donations from the society and our members. Please give serious consideration to including a donation to the restoration when you register for our meeting. 100% of your donation will go to 1361’s restoration.

Thank-you, Dave Evans, President PRRT&HS & the PRRT&HS Directors
