Foliage cruise
The Pioneer Valley Firebird Assn will be joining forces with the Pioneer Valley GTO Assn. for their annual foliage cruise, I have gone a few of them, always a good time. All are welcome.
Here are the particulars for the foliage cruise on Oct. 25, weather permitting.
Our destination is the Railroad Museum of New England, home of the Naugatuck Railroad, in Thomaston, CT, where we will be taking a one hour 15 minute, 20 mile round trip train ride in a restored vintage 1920s motor coach. The museum is going to have a designated area, on blacktop, where we can park as a group. The area will be coned off for our exclusive use, and they will have someone watch over the cars while we are on the train ride. Train ride tickets $12 per person.
