RAIL SPEEDERS

Our featured speaker, David Sigafoose of the Volunteer Railroaders Association, will show a video of a journey the local rail speeder club took along a picturesque tract in Pennsylvania. He will also be bringing one of his favorite speeders which will be set up outside. FREE ADMISSION.
