BULLETIN VOLUME 31, NUMBER 6 -- June 2009 |
|
The June 2009 Memberhip Meeting will be held on the third Friday, June 19, 2009 at 7:15 PM, at St. John's University, 101 Murray St., New York, NY. This is a joint meeting with the New York Division of the Electric Railroaders' Assn. The University is a three block walk [1-1/2 blocks south and 1-1/2 blocks west] from the Chambers Street station of the West Side IRT Subway. In the event that you are not an ERA member please have your NYRRE membership card ready at the door. It would be very good if a full consist of NYRRE members will be on board for this historic and entertaining occasion!
The program for the meeting will consist of two slide shows. The first slide show will be presented by RRE member (and former ERA member) Jim Durney. Jim's show will cover surface and commuter electric operations in Philadelphia from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. The second part of the show will be slides from the collection of the late Roger Arcara, a legend of the New York Division. Commuter railroad subjects in the New York City area between 1950 and 1980 will be shown. These slides will be presented by Roger's longtime friend, Gary Grahl. |
