Amtrak's 40th Anniversary Celebration
Over the weekend of July 23 and 24, 2011, the club setup a display at the New London Union Station as part of the celebration of Amtrak’s 40th Anniversary. Amtrak built a special train which is spending weekends at various stations throughout the country and on this past weekend was making a visit to New London, CT. The club set up a small HO scale layout in the lobby which was joined by displays by Amtrak Police, Chuggington Depot, and the Mystic Aquarium. Despite blistering heat, approximately 2,000 people attended the two day event. You can view a video of the highlights on the club’s YouTube channel below.
