Our next meeting is July 6th at the PNR Archives and Ken Iverson will be giving a talk on Reservation Tower in Tacoma. This is a second try on the subject as we had technical issues.

RailCamp is full for this year. But consider having your teenager apply next year.

The Chapter will be holding a joint outing with the Pennsylvania group that meets at Burien to travel to and ride the Mount Rainier Railroad on July 20th. We are hoping to have a reserved car if we get enough people interested.

The Chapter is also working on a trip to Bellingham by train with a visit to the Bellingham Railroad Museum and a visit to the Lake Whatcom Railroad. We will keep you posted on the details. Members will get first choice to go, but if room remains we will take others.
