Calling model railroaders
GALAX - The newly formed New River Plateau Railyway Association welcomes everyone interested in trains, local rail history or model railroads to join. The NRPRA is dedicated to the preservation, study and display of the New River Plateau's railroad heritage and its extensions.
Possible activities will include creating a museum exhibit, building a model railroad, assisting the New River Trail with an interpretive railroad layout/display for the Foster Falls project and hosting related programs at the meetings.
The first meeting will be on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Western Steer restaurant in Galax. There will be a "dutch" dinner and the organization will set up a basic framework and present the groundwork that has already begun on the above activities.
