The next meeting of the Tri-State Railway
historical Society will be on Tuesday, December 16 at the Bickford
Theater at the Morris Museum, 6 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown, NJ.
This month's entertainment will be Railfan & Railroad managing
editor Steve Barry, who brings us two shows that are sure to please.
The first will feature a special event during February, 2008 with Pere
Marquette 2-8-4 1225 that also explores how today's steam excursions
have evolved into specialized charters intended to capture the true
view of steam power on context. Professional lighting was utilized to
create some very haunting images of live steam at night in addition to
elaborate set ups by day. This is big steam in full fury. The second
show, The Road and the Radio, attempts to explain why railfans get up
before the sun to drive hundreds of miles in search of the perfect
picture of a train. The photography explores the diversity of today's
coast-to-coast rail scene. This is a fun show accompanied by an
appropriate soundtrack of country music. All are welcome!
