Today, I am thankful that I had the good sense to buy my life membership when I did!
That said, there's a LOT behind that one simple sentence. Just thinking back on the years since then and all we have accomplished together is beyond my ability to textualize.
From it's humblest beginnings that I witnessed back in '95' to it's current +3 mile state, I have seen the whole truly become greater than the sum of it's parts.
There's so much more to our railroad, the organization, the family, and the experience, than the mere collection of objects that make up it's physical plant. So much more!
Our hard work and dedication has produced a glimpse into a time and a way of life that we are able to share with the public insuring future generations the same window to the past we have now come to enjoy.
As one who can trace my ancestry straight back to Plymouth Rock, I am truly thankful for the chance to be a part of this New England tradition.
Happy Thanksgiving!
