Adopt-a-Train: Tom Mahler provided an update on the "Adopt-a-train" effort. After some interesting conversations with Mr. Lawrence Scripps Wilkinson, Tom reported that we will be receiving a very nice 2-6-2 K-4 Pacific steam locomotive and passenger consist from Mr. Wilkinson's Detroit based foundation. From the trains available for placement, this type of train was the best to represent trains that would have rode the rails in Delmarva, as supported by Mr. Wilkinson's own research and Tom's own investigation. It is hoped that the trains will be received in time so that the train can be displayed at the June 30th train meet.
