Much Better Than the Trailer Truck Show

Our friend Ray Piesciuk has been scanning CA&E bulkhead advertising cards (the ones hung in the bulkhead windows between the cars' smoking and main compartments) from the Julie Johnson collection. A few duplicates have been passed along to us so that we can either use them in the cars or easily get them copied. The batch he's working on currently seem to mostly be from 1939-1940. These will all eventually end up on the fascinating www.irm-cta.org archive site Ray and Julie manage.

I look forward to your excellent reports! What is the status of the completion of the new multipurpose building? Also, could we see an update on the ME28?

Currently work on the MPB has stopped since the Museum doesn't have any source of income, other than donations. We can certainly survive, and volunteer work will continue, but we can't afford to pay the contractors just now.
