Springfield Train Show




The Amherst Railway Society held its annual train show this past weekend. More than 15,000 visitors had arrived by mid-day Saturday, with many more expected Sunday. Pictured are MGRS members Terry Norton, Carl Churchill, and John Jackson, as they admire new G-Gauge transformers at the USA Trains exhibit. It's a long round-trip to Springfield, Mass, but definitely worth going to this annual event.
