After a short stopover, our train will head back through Meredith, following the Pemigewasset River north to Plymouth. During our extended stopover there, passengers may attend the Boston & Maine RR Historical Society’s spring meeting in the restored Plymouth B&M depot, featuring a presentation by noted rail historian Robert Wllloughby Jones (reservations required - capacity limited), or visit the many shops and restaurants located nearby in Plymouth. We’ll then head south, stopping at Ashland for a photo runby and a station tour before returning to Meredith, arriving at approximately 5 PM.

THE BOSTON & MAINE RR HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING with ROBERT WILLOUGHBY JONES Our train is scheduled to arrive in Plymouth at 1:00 PM, in time for the May meeting of the B&MRRHS in the adjacent Plymouth Depot. Our train will depart Plymouth at 3:15 PM. Many railfans will know the name Leon Onofri from Robert Willoughby Jones's books. Leon passed away in the 1960s and his family made his entire slide collection available to Robert for publication. In this presentation Robert will show some of Onofri's New England slides not previously published, as well as many colorful images he made while traveling around in the U.S. and Canada of steam and early diesels. Leon traded slides with rail fans across the country, further broadening his collection, so there a lot of railroads represented in early Kodachrome images. One of the highlights is several wonderful shots of Milwaukee Road steam in the orange and maroon scheme. Leon left a huge collection of electric traction photos, and Robert will present a few these for variety. Robert will also show some of his own MBTA and Amtrak cab-ride shots made in recent times, depending on the time available. He asks that all be eagle-eyed for details and facts about the afternoon's photos that you may wish to share. Unfortunately, the capacity of the meeting room at the Plymouth Depot is limited, and we need to reserve space for the B&MRRHS's regular attendees who will not arrive by train. Although there is no charge for this event, train passengers who wish to attend the Robert Willoughby Jones program must reserve space when ordering their train tickets. Passengers who have not made an advance reservation will be admitted to the program only if space is available after seating those passengers with reservations. As of April 20, our allocation of reserved seats has been exhausted.
