Peter,
Thanks for the photos. I an sorry you had to work, but it looks like it was a good event, and the layout looks great!
I've watched trains in Ashland back when I worked in Richmond in the '70s and Fredericksburg in the late '80s to early '90s. I am actually from Butler County, Pennsylvania but went to Virginia twice when jobs were hard to come by. Now we have been back here for almost 20 years.
