Feature Articles 3 Departments 2 The NYS&W Snowplow Nanette Ferreri President’s Message John Stocker 10 Bel-Del News Les Coleman A s I sit here to write this, we are over halfway through our 2011 season. We had a successful Easter season and a Day Out with Thomas is now behind us. We now look forward to our Corn Maze Trains, our Great Pumpkin Trains and then the POLAR EXPRESS! The M-1 is now in P-Burg. As Martin and I were putting it down by the Baer shop, I realized we are taking a trip to the past, back to where it all started. I look at all we have and think it started with a small group of dedicated Volunteers and the M-1. Just goes to show what can be done when you put your mind to it and have the help of good people. I look forward to seeing the M-1 run on the BelDel. As always there are tons of things to do and so little time to do them. Your help will make it happen. Come out and give an hour or a day, it all helps. Don’t forget about the 4039 Railfan Day on Saturday November 5th. Help will be needed staffing trains, etc, let Chris know if you can help. Upcoming work in 2011. Finishing the 5-Year inspection on the 142. Getting the M1 ready for service.
