I am pleased to announce the next meeting of The Blue Ridge Railroad Association at the Landrum, S.C. depot. The purpose of the association is to promote further knowledge of the rail transportation industry, both from an historical perspective as well as from latest developments pertinent to the local region. 

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. The speaker will be Ms. Diana Cabot-Miller, Southeast marketing manager for Amtrak, who will talk about current Amtrak operations and future plans for passenger rail in this region. Also, Mr. Michael Saverino, a longtime railfan and BRRA board member, will provide video presentations on current railroad topics of interest, should time permit.

There will be no membership requirements or dues assessments. A small donation to help with meeting costs would be appreciated, but not required.
