ORTA Annual Meeting
Informational, Fun, Huge Success!
This year's meeting was held April 19th, 2008 in Sugar Creek, OH
- the largest attendence ever. We were guests of the
Ohio Central Railroad System. Thanks to Matt Dietrich
Executive director of the Ohio Rail Development Commision, Bob McCarthy
of McCarthy Railroad Insurance Co. and Mike Hocker, Executive Director
of the Lincoln Highway State Byway for their outstanding presentations.
The highlight of day was a steam ride to OC's Morgan Run maintenance
facility with a fantastic photo run-by. Click here to see the video.
We were pulled by
