RMLI Holiday Open House-Anyone have any info?

Everyone: I would like to know when the Holiday Open House at RMLI is scheduled for this year. This may not be the right place to post this but didn't RMLI have a forum on this website? I went last year and it turned out to be a lot of fun! Happy holidays to all - MACTRAXX

Santa comes to Greenport on Saturday December 3 and Sunday December 4 2005

Santa will arrive on the noon train and will depart to the North Pole at 3:30 PM on each day. The Museum will open from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM on the days of Santa's visit and there is no admission charge for these days.

Put Santa to work!!!

Let him arrive at Greenport on a handcar!

He needs to work off some of November's turkey and stuffing! Give him a form 19 and let him go!

Better still, Dave. Give him a paint brush and rust scraper. If he knows how to weld, get him going on saving some of that passenger stock.

Great image! Ho, Ho, Ho!

Dave

Guys, that would be a great gift Santa can give.

Santa will arrive on the noon train and will depart to the North Pole at 3:30 PM on each day.

I see from the schedule that a train does arrive in Greenport at 12:02 PM, but the only westbound trains are at 1:17 and 6:17. I assume he is returning to the North Pole by reindeer, then - or will they run a special train for him?

In the "spirit" of the holiday season, the "Scoot" will take him "'round the horn" from Greenport via the Manorville branch and on to Bridgehampton where he'll make connection with a Montauk train to give presents out there amongst the barrens of Fort Pond Bay!

Ho! Ho! Ho!
Dave

Thanks guys - I'm really looking forward to it! MACTRAXX

Santa Coming on The 12:02pm Train

Dave, don't get my hopes up like that!

Mabe Santa can bring RMLI a present like some money to get the pullmans restored.

How far is Greenport from Riverhead Station?

Give some one give me directions from the Riverhead site to Greenport?

Greenport is 21 track miles from Riverhead. You can take Route 25-Main Road. There is a sign I recall "RAILROAD STATION" after entering Greenport Village. You make a right turn at this intersection-I do not recall the street name-The Shelter Island ferry and the Maritime museum(directly ahead-the old RR depot) are right there also. OR- Take the train leaving Riverhead at 11:23am ar Greenport at 1202pm. This train returns to Riverhead leaving GRE at 1:17pm ar RIV at 1:56pm. The fare for this ride is $2.25 OW or $4.50 RT. There are no machines at either location-meaning no penalty fare. MACTRAXX

Will the snow have any effect on todays event as I want to drive out and bring my little girl with me.

I will be wearing a Green Stetson University Zippered Hooded Jacket if anybody wants to meet up.
