During the Stay At Home Orders we will report individual activities of TLMRC members here on the TLMRC Club Projects Page
With the high percentage of our members being over 60 years of age, we are isolating in place and will not hold member gatherings. We are working with each other by phone, Skype, Facetime and e-mail. Keep your trains running or at least clean your track with 70% or higher alcohol.
Yesterday I received a thank you from the Midwest Region for the 4 members who were to present at the Peoria Convention which had to be canceled.
The Three Lakes Schools, Fab Lab and now the Demmer Memorial Library all will be closed starting 3/18.

C. Richard Neumiller Photos are featured in Peoria
The Peoria Riverfront Museum has a new exhibit on railroading spurred on by the May 10, 2019 celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike. In addition to historic photos and description of the importance of the transcontinental railroad, it explains the importance of railroads in the Peoria area and features 25 images on Peoria railroading taken by Dick Neumiller in the 1950’s-1970’s that are now part of the Bon French collection.

The closing of the Choo Choo Store and the Removal of the Rhinelander Club web site (RRAHOME.ORG) has required many updates on pages of the TLMRC site. We will add RRA pages from their site that reflect our friendship and cooperationto our site. This will not be an RRA home page but rather pages about the Rhinelander Railroad Association and the work of their club members. If you find links that do not work or take you to the wrong location, please let me know via Contact Us
