That much snow won’t stop a locomotive, but the folks from the Augusta County RR Museum in Waynesboro have to drive automobiles to get there, so we’re calling off our open house Saturday. If the roads are clear we’ll have the model trains running Sunday afternoon 1-4 and this Friday evening 5-8 for Christmas in the River City. Directions are at our website, http://www.trainweb.org/augustarailva. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood!
