With an NRHS board of directors meeting in Cincinnati on one weekend and the Center For Rail- road Photography & Art conference in Lake Forest, Ill., the next, it didn’t make much sense to drive back to New Jersey between trips. Thus, my brother Bruce and I left the Queen City and circled south into West Vir- ginia before striking out for the heart- land.
