<div>                 Good afternoon, all:<br><br>Please see the second page of the attached newsletter. The Dover Harbor lay-over in Roanoke may be a nice photo opportunity. It will be interesting to see if the private car seating sells out.<br><br>It would be nice if such an excursion could be arranged with a Roanoke head-out, but the logistics for this particular car probably will not work out for a future N&W convention in the Star City. It would required down and back deadheading for someone who wanted to also spend a hotel night in Washington or Alexandria; that deadhead cost will increase the reservation cost.<br><br>It would be good publicity for the Archives if people could arrange an optional tour for an hour and see the remarkable N&W and VGN historical resources being preserved.<br><br>I know that $419 seems to be expensive, and is.  However postage was 6 cents during 1967 and a coach fare round trip between Roanoke and Washington was (I think) about $42.  Add a zero to either one and you have the equivalent of 58 years of inflation.  Rail travel was never inexpensive; it only seemed to be in our rear-view mirror of recollections  <br><br>Best wishes as time marches on,<br><br>Frank<br>            </div>            <div id="yiv6441976448yqt03762" class="yiv6441976448yqt3580478841"><div id="yiv6441976448yqt02169" class="yiv6441976448yqt0040258921"><div style="margin:10px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid #ccc;padding-left:1ex;" class="yiv6441976448yahoo_quoted">                        <div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;">                <div>----- Forwarded Message -----</div>                <div><b>From:</b> The Old Dominion Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society <todcotnrhs@wildapricot.org></div><div><b>To:</b> Frank Scheer <f_scheer@yahoo.com></div><div><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, March 16, 2025 at 11:03:01 PM EDT</div><div><b>Subject:</b> Frank, here is your March Highball - See you tomorrow!</div><div><br clear="none"></div>                                                <div><div id="yiv6441976448"><img src="https://olddominionchapter.com/EmailTracker/EmailTracker.ashx?emailCode=2RWmcA%2badk9I4F40x4m95ZYuBhce%2fynwHUnlyknsSpBoaSe7h%2bpf1cUW1wlgWxTnBTlYIdyv7BN7AkPC5g1GXoC%2fOzxfPkPyUzN8902eeYY%3d" style="width:1px;min-height:1px;border:none;" alt="">         </div></div></div></div></div><div id="yiv6441976448yqt39922" class="yiv6441976448yqt0040258921"></div></div><div id="yiv6441976448yqt18160" class="yiv6441976448yqt3580478841"><title>     </title><style type="text/css">#yiv6441976448   #yiv6441976448outlook a {padding:0;}#yiv6441976448   body {margin:0;padding:0;}#yiv6441976448   table, #yiv6441976448   td {border-collapse:collapse;}#yiv6441976448   img {border:0;height:auto;line-height:100%;outline:none;text-decoration:none;}#yiv6441976448   p {display:block;margin:13px 0;}</style><style type="text/css">@media only screen and (min-width:480px) {#yiv6441976448   .yiv6441976448mj-column-px-600 {width:600px !important;max-width:600px;}}</style><style type="text/css">@media only screen and (max-width:480px) {#yiv6441976448   table.yiv6441976448mj-full-width-mobile {width:100% !important;}#yiv6441976448   td.yiv6441976448mj-full-width-mobile {width:auto !important;}}</style><style type="text/css">#yiv6441976448   p {margin:16px 0;}@media only print {#yiv6441976448   .yiv6441976448mj-column-px-200 {width:200px !important;max-width:200px;}}@media only print {#yiv6441976448   .yiv6441976448mj-column-px-300 {width:300px !important;max-width:300px;}}</style><div><div><div>       <div style="">     <table align="center" background="https://olddominionchapter.comnone" bgcolor="transparent" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="100%" width="100%" style="background-image:none;background-color:transparent;background-position:50% 0%;background-repeat:repeat;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" colspan="1" rowspan="1" valign="top">             <div style="margin:0px auto;max-width:600px;">     <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="width:100%;"><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="direction:ltr;font-size:0px;padding:0px;text-align:center;">          <div style="font-size:0px;text-align:left;direction:ltr;display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:100%;" class="yiv6441976448mj-column-px-600 yiv6441976448mj-outlook-group-fix">    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color:transparent;border-bottom:0px none #000000;border-left:0px none #000000;border-right:0px none #000000;border-top:0px none #000000;vertical-align:top;padding:0px;padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px;">      <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td align="center" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="b
