1st Annual IVD Cookout = SUCCESS!!

I want to thank all the IVD members and their families who came out to the 1st annual IVD Cookout at Peck Park in Galesburg. A good time was had by all with a fun filled day of railfanning, fellowship and of course some great food!

We had 24 guests attend, which was also a great turnout for our first outing and hope that more members can make it the next time.

Railfanning was definitely in our favor that day. An average of 5-7 trains an hour passed by on 4 mainlines.

I want to thank all those who helped setup, cook and clean up afterwards, very much appreciated.

Looking for District 2 & 5 Trainmaster Volunteers

As we did not get anyone to run for the District 2 Trainmaster position, we are actively looking for someone volunteer to fill this position. You do not have to live within District 2, just the williness to serve for a 2 year term. 

Also District 5 Trainmaster has resigned  and so we find ourselves looking for someone to fill that position as well.
