In November of 1992, our RVP Wes Ross and the Kentucky Central Chapter hosted the NRHS fall board meeting in Lexington. Dr. Ross asked the Kentucky chapters to send representatives to the weekend meeting and several of our members attended. Back then the Kentucky Central Chapter had a tourist train powered by a 2-6-2 locomotive which had come from Arkansas’ Reader Railroad and which they ran on the TTI (Trans-Kentucky Transportation) line out of Paris, KY., the former L&N Maysville branch.

The activity for the meeting was a Saturday morning trip on this train from Paris to Ewing, where we had a bar-b-que lunch in the local fire hall. It was a frigid day! But before lunch, we were treated to a photo run. This was on November 7, 1992.
