The Holidays are winding down.

With the holidays winding down, it is time to think about how 2011 went and to start planning for 2012. After a successful Railfair and Christmas Open House we are starting to prepare for 2012. We are already planning to start How to Clinics in February with the first one being on bench work. We are planning to have the How to Clinics every fourth Tuesday of the month. We plan to cover bench work, track laying, and landscaping just to name a few. Check the event page for times and dates. We have also dropped dues for membership to $60.00 a year for a single and $80.00 for a family to try to make it more affordable for you to join.  Anyway, let we wishing you and your family a happy rest of 2011 and a great 2012.

Your Webmaster and Secretary,

Roger Crigger

Fact of the Month

In U.S. railroad practice, a level junction (or in the United Kingdom a flat crossing) is a railway junction that has a track configuration in which merging or crossing railroad lines provide track connections with each other that require trains to cross over in front of opposing traffic at grade.

 

The cross-over structure is sometimes called a diamond junction or diamond crossing in reference to the diamond-shaped center
