If you want ring side seats seeing what the Friend do you can play hooky from work session on Monday riding the 463 train. (Many Friends members will be doing just that). Then you can spend the rest of the week doing great work helping preserving our narrow gauge history working with some REALLY GREAT people.
If you can't make it out session A, there are a half dozen other chances that might work into your schedule all summer long. You can work on trains all day long, and talk trains with your new friends at dinner. How can you beat that?
