>     Last night I had the pleasure of "Takin' Twenty" with nine of the Brethren 

>     and Friends of the Virginian Railway. We signed a Happy Birthday Card for 

>     Greely Wyatt, Virginian Railway electrical geru and diesel locomotive 

>     expert. Greely is known far and wide as the "go-to man" about the operation 

>     and history of non-steam motive power on the VGN. He was recently honored 

>     for working at every Habitat for Humanity home built in the Roanoke area, 

>     and is one of the most colorful and resourceful men we know. I passed on to 

>     the Brethren from Tom Marshall, an article about the giant coal tipple at 

>     Kopperston and told them about the fire this week in the office of the 

>     Motor Barn in Mullens as well as flooding in the area.

>

>     Passed around was my recent ebay purchase of an article from August 1956 

>     "Trains" entitled "Of Black Upholstery and Commanding Exhaust". "Cessation 

>     of Virginian passenger service provokes warm memories of orange cars, 

>     shoebox lunches, and Teddy Roosevelt regaling the riders with tales of San 

>     Juan Hill". The article mentioned Sunday "extra" Church Trains, Teddy 

>     Roosevelt speaking at the 1907 Jamestown Exposition to VGN riders and 

>     called VGN #3 and #4 "shoebox and cinders trains". The article told of 

>     orange coaches that matched the stations before WWI and riders "bragging 

>     about dinners on the night trains (#3) that left Norfolk's Union Station at 

>     10 PM and arrived in Roanoke at 8 AM the next morning, the same hour as the 

>     day train (#4), took off for Norfolk". "They were trains with straight-back 

>     seats of somber black upholstery, spittoons and windows to stick your head 

>     into the winds and hear the stout steam engine moan, and whistle (sound) 

>     with commanding exhaust pluming from the smokestack. Engineers and firemen 

>     were quick to pitch candy to kids..."

>

>     Also passed were photos of a G5 with "VIRGINIAN" peeking through the N&W 

>     paint, similar to the one that the Roanoke Chapter NRHS is donating to 

>     Victoria, and a great N&W (and VGN) HS Archives photo of one of the first 

>     trains across the tremendous Glyn Lyn Bridge May 13, 1909, exactly 100 

>     years ago.

>

>      From May 11, 2009 "Roanoke Times" Community Section of "50 years ago" I 

>     shared with the Brethren: "Overwhelming approval of a proposed merger of 

>     the Norfolk and Western and Virginian railways was given by N&W 

>     stockholders here today".

>

>     I continued showing recent DVDs made in my collection for future showing at 

>     our restored Depot in Roanoke. The first showed an NS crew pulling vintage 

>     rolling stock, including the VGN EL-C #135, out of the Virginia Museum of 

>     Transportation to get to the N&W A-Class 1218, that was taken to the O. 

>     Winston Link for the Celebration at the Station, last Saturday. The next 

>     DVD showed the two NS executive "F" units and business cars "Claytor Lake", 

>     "Virginia" and "West Virginia" fresh from the Kentucky Derby, also on 

>     display. I was able to video the inside of the business cars and this was 

>     the first time some of the Brethren had ever seen the interior of one. Also 

>     shown were videos of trains on the old Virginian tracks at the location of 

>     Hardy Station and Wabun, formally known as "Sears", where the eastern-most 

>     transformer station from the Narrows Power Plant (88,000 volts to catinary 

>     11,000 volts) was located. On my way to Wabun, I was able to film, when 

>     stopped by two large drake geese who stood in the middle of the road, while 

>     a gander and 7 small chicks crossed to the Roanoke River. This turned out 

>     to be the tape that the Brethren wanted to see the second and third time...

>

>     I told the Brethren about the progress being made for the Roanoke Chapter 

>     NRHS Fall Trip Excursions in November. This will be a train from Roanoke to 

>     Bluefield and return on Saturday and from Roanoke to Shenandoah and return 

>     on Sunday. More on this later.

>

>     One of the Brethren said that his grandson ask him how old he was. When he 

>     answered "84", the youngster replied "Grandpa, did you start at one?"

>

>     Time to pull the pin on this one!
