Fellow Q Fans,

The Fort Madison, Farmington & Western will hold its annual open house this 
coming weekend, September 25-26 from 9am to 6pm.

Operating equipment will include CB&Q Edwards doodlebug #507 along with a 
"freight" train with CB&Q waycar #13929 bringing up the markers.

Located just east of Donnelson Iowa on the roadbed of an authentic Q 
branchline, big fun can be had by all ... if the planets are in proper 
alignment, I hope to be the brakeman on the Q waycar ... just ask for 
Burlington John.

To sweeten the pot, there is a "Great Smoky Mountain" combine/obs that serves 
as the museum car at 'Minerville' ... the trucks are stenciled CB&Q and C&S.  
Additionally, a CB&Q ballast hopper #180070 and a Bevier & Southern coach can 
be seen & photographed.

Imagine riding over the right of way of a former Q branchline in an authentic Q 
doodlebug or a Q waycar ... it just doesn't get much better!

Feel free to drop me a line if you need more info.

Regards & Everywhere West,

John Lewis
