MRHA DIVISIONS
MRHA members have created regional divisions
of their historical association. Here is your chance to get into MRHA
activities locally! But please remember, you cannot be a member of a local
division unless you are first a member of MRHA itself. Division dues are
separate and are not included in MRHA dues.
Please contact the
division superintendents on how to join.

ILLINOIS DIVISION PROGRAM
Mark Llanuza will provide METRA
updates and information on some other rail activities in the Chicago
area. Mark has a short program on some METRA activities over time that
have never been shown anywhere before.
Bill Shapotkin will present a two
carousel slide show on activities on the Rochelle & Southern lines of
the Milwaukee Road.
Dennis Mess will finish the day
with a program of some materials from the MRHA museum photo archives.
We have been busy at the museum and
will have a collection of blue prints of station maps and equipment for your
purchase. As the museum has had to pay the cost of shipping these
materials from Montana, we ask that you donate $1.00 per print to help us
recoup our costs. We also will have some dispatcher sheets and models
available for purchase.
We hope to see you there,
Bob Storozuk,
Division Superintendent
