There will be a meeting of the PRRT&HS this Saturday, July 21 at the Pacific Northwest Railroad Archive in Burien, 425 SW 153rd St. For directions, see www.pnrarchive.org. The meeting starts at 12:30 PM, but the building will be open earlier.

This meeting will be a little different format. It will be about anthracite coal. It will be a group format and, anyone with information about this type of coal, its production, use, or other information with regards to the PRR, will be welcome to present. It will be very informal, so don’t be shy. The Pennsylvania Railroad was at one time the world’s largest coal hauler, so just what were they and others doing with all that coal? Come to the meeting and find out. If you have information come and enlighten the rest of the group.

There will be a movie about the anthracite hauling railroads which should be very interesting. As always, we even welcome New York Central fans!

After the meeting there is a no host dinner at a local restaurant.
