Operating Session NYO&W Auburn Division
Saturday, March 29, 2025 • 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM

The O&W will be abandoned 68 years on March 29, 2025, so time for another ops session. Doors open at 9:30, ops 10 to 3:30 or whenever everyone is tired. The operating date will be September 1 1948. The new fangled diesels will show up on interchange and passenger trains but O&W freights will be all steam–some doubleheaded. This will require two engineers working in tandem.

We’re located in Madison, WI.

Lunch will again be Beef Butter BBQ.

Sign up opens Saturday, March 1, 2025.
