We will be hosting noted railroad historians who will be presenting their favorite road, in verbal presentation, slides and other media.
### Day one
Bringing you the Buffalo & Susquehanna Railroad, is noted author Paul Pietrak, author of several books on railroads in Potter County. He will show us why " The New Way" was doomed as being the best way.
Presenting the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is author Bill Reddy. He will be sharing a large collection of photos, and personal history of the B&O as it operated from and around the Galeton area.
Presenting the Wellsville Addison & Galeton Railroad, is Contributing Editor for RMC magazine, Robert Mohowski. Bob being so fond of the WAG, bought and paneled his den with the siding from a WA&G outside braced boxcar.
Dennis Tiley, Maintenance of Way engineer with the Reading Co., then an engineer with PennDOT, will discuss what the H.E. Salzberg Co. and scrap iron dealing was, and what the Salzberg short line empire was all about.
Michael Schleigh, worked with the G.E. Co.'s locomotive division in Erie, PA., then with Cooper Industries. Later, Cooper was acquired by GE, so again, Mike works for the G.E. Co. His presentation will focus on the different types of rolling stock that WAG stabeled, and will also discuss aspects of modeling the WAG.
Joe Lofland, JJL Models will conduct a seminar on construction of resin models and building resin kits. He has some hints and a few tricks to make assembly of that resin kit easier than you realized.
David Augsburger, noted historical rail photographer, will show his slide collection of the WAG and C&PA. David has a vast collection that he has taken over the years. His works have seen print in many rail book publications.
David Clark, artist and an teacher in the Addison school district, will be displaying railroad works of the B&O, WAG, Erie, and EL on canvas, and in other different mediums. These items besides being on display, will also be available for purchase.
A Saturday evening dinner buffet, hosted by the Edu-Caterers, will provide you with an excellent meal. The price is $12.95 per person, with a program to follow. Paid reservations are required. (please refer to the website).
