Annual Springtime Railway Pilgrimage

Saturday, April 4th

 

​Travel aboard The Springfieldian, the Springfield-Albemarle County Railway Society's

pride and joy, as we make our 21st annual spring excursion to the Harrington Vineyards

and Thistlewaite Bluffs. The cherries, dogwoods, and redbuds are in full bloom and

anxiously awaiting our arrival. Society co-founder and lifelong railfan, E. A. Andersen,

will describe the history and folklore of the region.

​

You will ride aboard the last coaches purchased by the Springfield and Eastern Rail-

way Company before its demise in 1959. The two Electro-Motive Division E-8 diesel-

electric locomotives will lead the Budd Company baggage car, coaches, and bullet-

shaped lounge car.

​Review:

​

I liked this story, because it has some relevance to a family situation at the moment. It takes a lot of courage for someone to make the first move. In this case the grandmother. Is this story telling me something. Also with Missy, most teenagers go through this stage. Particularly fathers and daughters. It's true being overprotective can alienate a child as much as ignoring them. Life is far too short to bear grudges, it was a shame that Ed and Louise missed the best years of their grandchildren's growing up. I was disappointed when the story ended, I wanted more. Virginia style of writing makes easy reading and is full of interesting details. My friend us going to read it as she is passionate about trains.
