Wonderful job on setting up the train show.  I met Mr. Lotz and 
purchased severl of the great "Burlington Bulletins".  Fantastic 
publications.  I will be joining the BHRS and I am very impressed 
with how the organization works.  

Sadly - their are many in Galesburg which want Galesburg RR days to 
go away and based on what I saw this year - it looks like it will 
probably be the last year for this event, as I knew it...

I can't begin to tell you how many people that traveled hundreds of 
miles to partake in this year's "non-event" RR Days.  They won't be 
back next year. Of course, based on what I have seen ? it doesn't 
look like there will be a Railroad Days next year.  The momentum is 
gone.   It would take years to rebuild the numbers of attendees from 
previous years.  

Anyway, I know many worked hard hours to bring the event to fruition 
this year but unless the Chamber, Town Council, Railroad Museum, 
BNSF, and the Local Area Merchants get their act together - it's just 
going to be "The Train Show" in the future....

Again - this post is nothing against the BHRS nor the work that Harry 
Grossman has put into this aspect of the RR days event at Carl 
Sandburg.  It's really just a shame that most of the local community 
wants RR days to just "go away".
