It’s the time of year when the Club pays tribute to our Old Guard members and this year we have a lot to celebrate. Not only do we welcome the Great Class of ’55, we have a record 7 Old Guard members!

We are all looking forward to being together in person again. In the meantime: Let’s have a virtual locomotive for our very special Old Guard!  

Here’s the roster:
