I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to the group that put together the wonderful Annual Meet in Duluth.  Though the weather was not the best, the events were top-notch.  I particularly enjoyed the Friday rail trip and the harbor cruise.  

The train had Silver Club, a Vista Dome Buffet Lounge Dorm, also know as the "Cable Car" lounge and food service car.  We also had a Santa Fe Hi-Level coach as well as several other cars.  We were served a nice breakfast in the diner.  It was a very enjoyable trip.

Friday afternoon, we gathered for our trip on the Vista Star to take a cruise on the harbor.  Fortunately, a special tour guide was brought on to focus on the rail connection of the ore traffic and the history of the docks - resulting in a fascinating explanation of the industries of Duluth and how the railroads served them.  I've included a few photos of the cruise, including one of the massive ore docks.

Saturday had the Annual Meeting, the Swap meet, clinics, and the Annual banquet.  The catering company did a particularly great job with the food, and the venue, in the Union Station depot, was beautiful.  We were treated to two presentations after the banquet.

Sunday had the opportunity to view the former Mark Train Zephyr (which is under restoration) and a chance to ride another train in Trego, WI.

Throughout the entire meet, the Lake Superior Railroad Museum were great hosts, having the museum and facilities available for our Society. 

Again, thank you to the crew that put together this great meet.

Rich G.
