Berta has already sent out the invitation and discussion of this meeting.

.
Volunteers worked for 20 years to restore this steam engine #2926 which was built in 1944 and is one of last steam locomotives built for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Today, it is the only operating 2900-class locomotive in the U.S. and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They are still hoping that the engine will eventually be used to take tours in New Mexico. It
should be a fun outing, so please save the date.
July and August programs are in the works!!!
