Bristol - Bristol Historical Society will host a show on Thursday. Meanwhile Cortlandt Hull and Steve Vastola will talk to the train
"Full Steam Ahead" introduces many train models and information on the history of Bristol railroad.
The train will be held at 7 PM. Air conditioned event room at Bristol Historical Society on 98 Summer Street on Thursday
Vastola said that part of his plan began when the railroad first arrived in Bristol in 1850 and began to cover the company that owned it for many years.
"Boston and Maine owns the minimum period of about 8 months." "I bought it from Conrail in 1982 and purchased it to Guilford Rail Systems in 1983. The longest owner is New Haven Railroad, which is 1908 It has a railway from 1968 to 1968. Today's railroad is owned by Pan Am Railways and also has a railway line in Plainville. "
Vastola said his plan would cover the change from steam to diesel during the Great Depression, how the railroad was affected by the flood of 1955, and the advent of the car.
Vastola said that the plan will also discuss JP Morgan's "mean mean" to confuse the railroad so that he can buy for himself.
In the showcase of the Bristol Historical Society, a model train made by Hull's uncle, a veteran after the Second World War, and model trainer Louis Gagnon will be displayed. There are trains from larger O gauge trains to standard trains of the 1930s. There are Gagnon trains manufactured by handmade using metals such as clocks, trains, models manufactured by popular companies such as Lionel, copper, brass and the like on the display.
"Since his childhood, my uncle Shu was gathering, and after the war these trains are calm for him," Hull said. "Since I was working overnight at Associate Spring, sometimes I heard him hit the metal all night, he took several weeks to make these trains from scratch. My work was very detailed, on the 92nd of 2013, I gathered hundreds of trains from the 1930s to the present, but here I see only a tip of the iceberg.
From 10 am to 2 pm on Wednesday and Saturday, you can take pictures of the exhibition during the working hours of the Bristol Historical Society.
