Santa Maria Valley Railroad and Annual General Meeting – November 1-2, 2008
The Santa Maria Valley Railroad has once again invited us to spend time on their rails near the beautiful California Central Coast. This time, however, we will run both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we will do a morning run covering as much of the railroad as possible and tie up on the street in downtown Santa Maria for lunch and the Annual General Meeting at the Ambrosia Restaurant, about a block from the tracks. After the meeting we will run the railroad again, and following dinner on your own, we will do a night run at 7:00 PM from Betteravia to Guadalupe and back. We will do a morning run on Sunday followed by a Santa Maria Style barbecue for lunch and then an afternoon run to round out the day. Set-on will begin a 7:00 AM on Saturday with a 9:00 departure towards Guadalupe. The run fee is $65 for one day or $80 for two days. All NARCOA and MOW operating rules will apply. MOW membership is encouraged but not required. Mail your check for $65 or $80 made out to Motorcar Operators West to: Bill Schertle, 804 E Tularosa Ave, Orange, CA 92866.
