Yesterday, Friday August 9, 2019, I traveled by train and signed books at the North Conway Station (New Hampshire).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I discovered that\u2019s its pretty challenging to sign books while traveling on early 20th<\/sup>century steel coaches rolling over jointed rail on track ballasted with cinders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conway Scenic\u2019s Derek Palmieri assisted me with selling the books, as did Amy from Conway Scenic\u2019s Brass Whistle Gift Shop. The railroad\u2019s Susan Logan, Alta Crouse and Cathy Trecarten helped organize and promote the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Dave and Rhonda Swirk for hosting me and to everyone who stopped by for a chat and to buy books!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was delighted when my old friend Bob Bentley came by to talk about railroads. He reminded me that GP9 1757, formerly of the New Hampshire Northcoast, was briefly a Mass-Central locomotive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a fine day for a book signing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
