While the Southern Pacific no longer exists, it is not forgotten. The Southern Pacific Historical & Technological Society carries on to preserve its history. This year the organization will hold its convention in a railroad community the Southern Pacific made–Sparks, Nevada. It will be held from October 16-19.   To learn more about the event and the registration form you can find the information here.

Yours truly was invited to be a guest speaker, a tremendous honor. Alas, I had to decline. I had the dilemma of scheduling an earlier  presentation of the local Native Daughters of the Golden West. The latter, after nearly nine months since I  received their request will occur on California’s Admission Day (September 9).
