2008 Convention

The 2008 PCRRHS Convention will be held on September 18-20 at the Radisson Lackwanna Station Hotel in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Planned activities include a tour of the former PRR Wilkes-Barre Branch on Friday, an excursion on the Delaware-Lackawanna Railway behind their former Penn Central C636 on Saturday, and tours of Steamtown and the Lackawanna Trolley Museum. In addition, there will be the usual flea market, business meeting, banquet, and of course, slide shows!

A copy of the convention registration form was sent out in the May issue of the PCRRHS POST, or you can download a copy of the form. Please note that all registration forms and fees must be received no later than August 13, 2008.
