- WRPS Meeting Update -
The Western Railway Preservation Society will be holding their annual meeting at Barley Brown’s Brew Pub Restaurant located at 2190 Main St. in the heart of Baker City. We plan on meeting at 7:00 on the evening of October 8th. At this meeting, we will cover Society business and discuss some future ideas in a casual, dinner and drinks environment.
Remember that the SVRR’s annual meeting will be held the following night and we would encourage all WRPS members to attend both meetings if able. It should prove to be a great weekend for catching up with old friends and seeing what both organization have planned for the future.
Please e-mail Tim Bain at tim@westernrailwaypreservation.org if you would like to attend the WRPS annual meeting so I can let the restaurant know how many people to expect.
- About the Western Railway Preservation Society -
The Western Railway Preservation Society is dedicated to preserving the skills and artifacts of our western railway heritage, with particular attention given to the narrow gauge railways that were once very common through the west.
The WRPS has worked on not only preserving the locomotives and rolling stock of these railways but has also worked to preserve and restore other related artifacts like wayside buildings, water tanks, depots and even smaller artifacts like photos and documents.
The WRPS also works in partnership with other historic societies or individuals to help them achieve their historic preservation goals. We have the skills and abilities to assist with every aspect of historic preservation from documentation and research to equipment acquisition and transport. We also have the experience and resources to help other societies and individuals with material and contractor selection or WRPS can be contracted to perform any phase of your project for you.
