Excellent! Thanks for the tip-off. I have been looking for an excuse to get back up there. P.S. Would you have any information on when or if Danbury is supposed to get the restored Roger Williams Budd RDC? Thanks! Russ Hoffman Valley RR
No news on the Roger Williams. If you happen to come to the DRM, I hope we can meet. The next time I am scheduled to be "on duty" there is Wed. 2/27.
Here is a picture of Peter Cornwall taken at the Danbury Railway Museum during the pre-opening reception. He sure doesn't look his age, in his 80s.
Just a reminder - Saturday, May 18th is the last day for this exhibit. It also happens to be the day of the DRM's annual Spring Railfair.
