What a great weekend to be a Flying Yankee fan!
Saturday we held our first Open House of the 2026 season. Board members and volunteers were on site to welcome visitors to the train and talk more about our current projects.
Sunday our friends over at held a special fundraising excursion for us! The event was a full day on the rails complete with:
- A tour of the Flying Yankee
- Photo ops with the Flying Yankee, the F units 4268 and 4266, and the GP9 "Bluebird" 1741
- A total of FOUR photo run-bys (Frankenstein Trestle, Notchland Inn, Bartlett, and Mile Post 64)
- And of course time spent with great people!
We would like to extend a sincere, heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support us this weekend. Whether you visited our open house, or joined us on the rails, your support is what keeps us moving forward!
We also can't thank the folks at Conway Scenic enough for putting together this memorable event for us.
If you weren't able to make it out this time there are still Open House events throughout the summer and early fall. Head on over to www.flyingyankee.org for more info.
Hope to see you soon!
