The Oklahoma Railway Museum’s mission is to provide an educational experience of railroads and

how they shaped Oklahoma and the Nation.

I think of the Oklahoma Railway Museum as an organization of people connecting with people. During our Day Out With ThomasTM (DOWT) event, I was reminded of the importance of relationships we have with people connected to the museum. Without our members, volunteers, and visitors the museum could not exist.Our visitors are the purpose of our museum. Visitors allow

our mission to be fulfilled. They give us the opportunity to share our preserved equipment and our rail knowledge. Our events and train-runs engage us with the community—becoming important in the lives of families and individuals. Some families visit the museum multiple times during the summer. Events such as, DOWT and our Christmas train, have become traditions for families to attend year after year. Seeing our visitors enjoy our museum is rewarding to our volunteers and their hard work.Volunteers are the backbone of our museum. Volunteers enable our museum to function and they are the bridge to our visitors. Our volunteers keep the grounds tidy, buildings maintained, and are a welcoming face to our visitors. Volunteers tell the stories though the equipment they restore and preserve. They share the history of the railroad, stories of railroad workers, and the impact rail has had on our country. It is the volunteers connecting with our visitors that create a bridge between a piece of railroad equipment and the story that will inspire future rail fans.The members are the life of our museum and serve in many ways. Volunteering is one, but members serve the functions of support and promotion. Having a membership shows support for an organization and its cause. Members also promote through advocacy. Advocacy helps the Oklahoma Railway Museum create interest in the museum and connect to new people. These connections can lead us to find more members, volunteers, or potential donors. At the Oklahoma Railway Museum we share our passion of railroading and rail history. History is a story about people and relationships. It will be relationships between members, volunteers, visitors, and potential collaborators that will ensure the future of the museum. I encourage you to form a new relationship for the museum: invite someone to visit, recruit a new member, or come out and volunteer. See You On The Rails!

September Fest By Steve Kamm

On September 9, 2017, Chuck Shinn, Brandon Fentem and I represented the Oklahoma Railway Museum at the annual OKC Septemberfest. This event is hosted by and held at the Oklahoma History Center in Oklahoma City. The purpose of Septemberfest, which is open to the public, is to expose parents and children to the many local organizations which sponsor programs for children. Dozens of organizations presented their programs at display tables, re-enactors (History Center volunteers) of various periods in American history wandered the grounds, and a number of groups provided musical entertainment. The History Center expected a crowd of 300 visitors, a number which was greatly exceeded. During Septemberfest, the three of us were able to promote ORM with descriptions, demonstrations and handouts. As usual, Brandon did a terrific job meeting the public and interacting with

children--while Chuck and I primarily provided back up. The kids asked lots of questions and seemed to especially enjoy our telegraph key/light signal. All in all, the seven hours we spent were fun for us while providing the public with lots of information about our Museum.

Our 2017 Day Out With ThomasTM event was a success and we appreciate all the member assistance. This event will go down as the fourth best measured by the number of passengers we had. But we can’t rest because we have a busy schedule this fall. Our next event is the Lehigh Valley Steam Train, followed by our Halloween and Christmas runs.As for the museum, we are still trying to get the Le Flore Depot ready to move to the museum grounds. Everything was set to go, and on move day highway patrol stopped the move. Volunteers will return to the depot to meet the highway patrol’s move requirements. The location has no power so generators must be taken to ensure power is available for the power equipment. Hopefully this next trip will get the depot stable and meet the requirement so it can be moved. The Katy Inspection Car is nearing completion. After Thomas it will be rolled back into the shop to complete the the trim work. With the new paint and new windows, it really looks great. With the arrival of the Rock Island Postal Car, another restoration project is in the making. Currently the museum has several projects that will keep volunteers busy for several years. Work is currently underway on the CB & Q caboose windows and other wood work issues. We have box cars that need painting, four to be exact, an older tank car that needs painting and cat walk repairs, a couple of locomotives that need painting along with mechanical attention, the Porter Steam Engine that needs the water tanks re-installed and restoration work on the cab, and a baggage car that needs to be cleaned and painted. These are units that are displays and not in the operating pool. We have work on the passenger cars and other units that operate in the trains that will be receiving attention this winter. With these many projects, we will need a lot of help from volunteers this winter. The above list does not include work on the grounds and buildings. The yard office needs scraping and painting as weather permits. When the Le Flore Depot arrives, it will need a lot of attention to get it to point it can be used. And there is always yard work, mowing tree trimming and general clean up. The grass and weeds need to be removed from the brick sidewalks and platform. A major upcoming project will be to find new storage track. The museum’s lease on OKC’s public school maintenance building’s spur ends on February 1, 2018. The school system wants to remove the track and equipment from the grounds where we currently have five pieces of equipment stored. Planning is under way to address this and to ensure that the storage ties in with the future expansion of the museum. The Oklahoma City Train Show is fast approaching and will take place the first weekend in December. ORM provides volunteers for the event, so if you can help please contact the museum office and ask for Amanda, our volunteer coordinator. Ed Birch, who has been director for many years has indicated this will be his last show as director. Ed is to be commended for the tireless work he put into this show. He grew it from a backyard show, to various locations around the city, and finally it landed at the Fairgrounds. The first show I attended when I moved to the city in the late 1980’s was at the Omiplex. Thank you, Ed, for the 40 plus years of great service to the rail fans in Oklahoma and in the surrounding states. Well done Ed!

New Mexico Steam Locomotive & Rail Road Historical SocietyAT&SF 2926 is a former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe) 4-8-4 steam locomotive originally built in 1944 by Baldwin. This locomotive was part of the last group of steam passenger locomotives (class 2900) built for the Santa Fe railway. This class of locomotives were the heaviest 4-8-4’s built in the United States, and among the largest. The railroad used the locomotive in both fast freight and passenger service, accumulating over one million miles of usage before its last revenue run on December 24, 1953. The locomotive and a caboose were donated to the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1956 in recognition of the city’s 250th anniversary, and placed in a city park.The city displayed the locomotive as a static exhibit in Coronado Park until it was sold to the New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society on July 26, 1999. On June 23, 2000, the locomotive was moved by Messer Construction Company to a BNSF Railway rail siding just south of Menaul Boulevard. Subsequently, in May, 2002, the locomotive was moved by the railroad to its current location near the intersection of 8th Street and Haines Avenue where it is undergoing restoration to operating condition by the Society.On October 1, 2007, the locomotive was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. When the restoration is completed, 2926 will be the largest operating 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive in the United States. Norfolk & Western 611 is currently the largest operating 4-8-4 Northern type locomotive.I was invited by Bob DeGroft, CMO of this project to tour the facility and see 2926 being restored. I was accompanied by retired signal supervisor John Emery and good friend Mike Richardson. We were warmly welcomed and given a complete tour of the restoration. The three of us used the word “amazing” quite a lot while discussing what we had seen.The locomotive has been completely re-flued. It has a modern control stand installed and the brakes have been upgraded fully. The tender was completely cleaned, repaired and repainted with some of the last Emron paint ever to be available. Additionally they have received some very nice (and appreciated) corporate support from Timken Bearings among others. Bob indicated they have been very lucky with this project but still have a way

to go. They hope to be under steam by fall of 2018. I plan to be on hand when they do.

Museum serves as a location for film! By Anne Murray Chilton

The Oklahoma Railway Museum was the setting for yet another film production company. Andrew Patterson of GED Media was in need of model trains for a shoot for the opening credits of the movie “The Vast of Night”. The film is set in the 1950’s and Andrew wanted a model train consist of rail cars from the 30’s through the early 50’s. ORM docent and model railroader, Brandon Fentem, graciously offered to assist Andrew on the shoot with our model train layout. The film is in post-production having wrapped primary filming. It will be headed out to the film festival circuit looking for distribution.

2017 Back-to-School Bash By Anne Chilton

Oklahoma Railway Museum attended the annual Back-to-School Bash held at the Science Museum of Oklahoma. Over 25 Oklahoma museums, cultural institutions, and student-focused organizations were on hand to answer questions about field trips, free teacher resources, special events, and other opportunities for schools and students. The event is organized by Science Museum Oklahoma, Oklahoma History Center, and the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.Approximately 300 teachers, school staff, and their families had the opportunity to experience special demonstrations, visit with participating institutions, and explore Science Museum Oklahoma’s hands-on exhibits. Light hors d’oeuvres were provided and sponsored by the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. A great time was had by all!Anne Chilton represented ORM and spoke with many who were interested in scheduling a field trip or visit to the museum. Our display table had handouts on the museum, our educational programs and our events. Also on display were the contents of our travelling Artifact Trunk. The traveling Artifact Trunk program brings the museum to the classroom. The trunk contains lesson plans, hands-on activities, and three-dimensional artifacts for the students to handle. The trunk is available to teachers for a refundable deposit of $25. Activities

are suitable for grades Pre-K to 6th. One measure of success of the event is that we have had two educators from the event, who signed up to use our Artifact Trunk teaching aid.

Ramblin’ Rails Continued from page 5

From the NMSL&RHS Website: NMSL&RHS (New Mexico Steam Locomotive & Rail Road Historical Society) is a non-profit organization staffed solely by dedicated volunteers whose mission is to fully restore the Baldwin 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive, AT&SF 2926, to operational status while promoting and educating the public about the ties of state economic development with rail transportation. WWW.NMSLRHS.ORG is the only official website that represents the project. We have also registered WWW.2926.US as a shorter, easier to remember alias which points to the exact same website. In the mid-1990s a group of train enthusiasts formed NMS&LRHS for the express purpose of restoring the 2926 to full running condition. At about 10:30 in the morning on June 23, 2000, the giant drive wheels rolled for the first time in forty years, as the 2926 was towed out of the park. This began a two-year pirouette, as the Society moved her about twelve blocks to their newly established “World Headquarters,” as the restoration site is called, at 8th and Haines Streets. At the World Headquarters, a group of dedicated volunteers is performing the challenging tasks associated with putting the 2926 back in full running order. Assembly of the tender has been completed for some time, although there is some minor wiring and piping still to do. For the last couple of years, attention has been focused on the locomotive itself. Extensive inspection and re-welding repairs have been performed on the boiler, 80” driver wheels, cab and numerous mechanical parts. The boiler interior was cleaned and underwent final sand blasting recently. Extensive sheet metal repairs were done to the cab. The cab has now been painted and is being fitted with brand-new interior wood work. Refurbishment and assembly of the braking system is currently under way. In short, the engine is well past the disassembly and inspection stage and well into final assembly of its re-furbished parts! In the not-too-distant-future, we are confident the thunder of 2926 and the wail of her whistle will be heard again as she makes her way from town-to-town.

Bob DeGroft my host for the tour exhibits the window sash for the locomotive. In his left hand is the existing, and in his right, the results of his carpenter skills. Note the new one is made of American Walnut.

Trip Report Wales 2017By Steven Kamm

Some of you may recall that last September I traveled to southern Africa on a trip organized by LGB Rail Tours. With the success of that journey in mind, I decided to use the same company and tour guide for a trip this August to Wales. The intent of the tour was to ride behind many of the restored steam locomotives in Wales, most of which are narrow gauge. Once again, the trip was enjoyable, amazing, and hugely successful.Wales is part of the United Kingdom, lying between England to the east and the Irish Sea to the west. It covers about 8,000 square miles and has a population of 2.9 million. Wales is renowned for its unique culture, history, legends, scenic countryside, and rugged terrain. In years gone by, Wales gained fame for the production of coal in the south and slate in the north. To transport these commodities from the mountains to the coasts for shipping, many short rail lines were constructed. As these industries declined, the rail lines were abandoned. Now, however, steam enthusiasts have restored at least a dozen railroads—along with their locomotives, coaches, and associated equipment. Some lines feature vast maintenance facilities, capable of turning wheels, while other lines have just a few simple sheds. We got to see it all!Our group of 42 travelers was composed of “train nuts” from Germany, Switzerland, Canada and the United States. Our tour began in the city of Cardiff in southern Wales. Over the next ten days, we made our way north, stopping for a few nights in the mid-Wales university city of Aberyswyth, and then on to Betys-y-Coed, a picturesque village in the mountains of Snowdonia National Park. As I had spent a year-long teaching exchange in northern Wales, I enjoyed a “coming home” feeling, experiencing once again the scenery, people, language, food and beer!We rode behind a number of steam locomotives, varying in size from tiny (smaller than our Porter Steam switcher) to the famous Fairlie double-ended machine to a huge Garratt. Some of the lines ran parallel to the seacoast, some traveled along lakeshores, some went through hills populated by sheep, and some climbed into the mountains. In fact, we even took the Snowdon Mountain Railway from sea-level to the top of Mount Snowdon at 3560 feet. This is the only operating rack and pinion system in the British Isles. The trip up the mountain took an hour: unfortunately, by the time we arrived the clouds had settled in--so we were deprived of the scenic views!

In addition to the train rides, our tour included visits to several medieval castles, manor homes, and formal gardens, as well as cultural and railway museums. On our last full day, we were treated to a trip on the Great Orme cable-hauled tramway followed by a visit to Conwy Castle, built to subdue the unruly Welch by Edward I in about 1285. My trip home, from Manchester to Atlanta to OKC was uneventful, and I arrived tired but very happy for the wonderful experiences.
