I assume that if any of us attend via zoom that you would recommend that we should turn off our personal video and microphones unless or until there's a Q and A period?

I do that anyway for most Zoom 'meetings'.  Laugh

I think that it's intended as an open-to-the-public meeting since it's being held at a public library and openly advertised.  So it might actually be beneficial to 'show the flag' and participate openly, not just at the end...

I have no detailed notes of the meeting, but a post on RyPN this morning notes that the Flying Yankee organization has been approved as the 'purchaser of record' from the state for the train

Seems this thing pops up every 10-15 years going to a "better" home for restoration.   I have a feeling there will be urbex videos 30 years from now of the "abandoned flying yankee train" found in a industrial backlot, or buried in a scrapyard.    

Hope I'm wrong. 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.
