It is not ‘unofficial’ anymore!! Come on out to our Family Reunion and have some fun watching trains, playing golf, eating good food, sharing a brew, visiting with other railfans, and playing some games. Yes, we have it all right here in the LaPlata area. Below is a list of things that usually happen on each day. We purposefully do not structure it so spontaneous fun can be had.
