| The NRHS convention was in Richmond VA in 1983. In addition to the excursions that ran as part of the convention, there were also trips that ran the weekend before, among them an Alexandria-Hagerstown trip via the Southern Railway Strasburg Branch, and the NW Shenadoah Division from Front Royal. Sunday of that weekend was a ferry trip to get NW 611 and S&A 750 to Richmond. The fare for the trip was $14, cheaper than Amtraks $19 between the two points at that time. Get where youre going, and save some money, too. And tell the folks meeting you at the train, youll be on the one with double headed steam!! |
