Martinsburg Rail Day, July 21

Saturday, July 21, will be "Rail Day" at the Martinsburg, West Virginia,
Roundhouse. Hours are from 10 AM until 4 PM, and guests should report to the
Martinsburg train station where parking is available. Buses will shuttle
guests to the roundhouse complex. There is no admission charge, except
nominally for the bus shuttle (which is optional to avoid a 4-block walk).
Activities will include Civil War reenactments, displays of steam and
gasoline engine equipment used in farming and other purposes, craft
displays, demonstrations by modern day artisans and former railroaders
within the facility's blacksmith shop, dealers of new and vintage toy
trains, a "mirage of food vendors," music, and tours of the roundhouse, frog
& switch and blacksmith shops. Miller Tower (still in pieces) will also be
on display within the complex. For further information call the Martinsburg
Convention & Visitors' Bureau at 304-264-8801 or 800-498-2386.
