When that stopped at that point, Passenger Rail service in this region. It was then given to the Shelburne Museum for posteritys sake, to allow people to be able to see it. It is exhibited with much of the Railroad Memorabilia that is typically seen in these stations. It was part of our founders collection at the time.

This is a traveling Passenger Rail car, the grand isle, built in 1899 by the palace wagner car company just before it changed ownership to the Pullman Company at the time.

[ applause ] good morning. Can you hear me all right . Clear as a bell, i hope. Well, its lovely to be here for another conference. Each one i come to seems to be even better than the last. Now we have kevin, kevin ruane, here, who has written this very, very good book, churchill and the bomb. So i one of my grandfathers best quotations, and there are so many to choose from is this one.
