Middletown Railroad Days attracts crowd,
memories

MIDDLETOWN — There was a
roundhouse of memories at the annual Middletown
Railroad Days Sunday at the Mulberry House
Senior Center.
Old railroad workers and
buffs came from throughout the Hudson Valley and
Philadelphia area to see the exhibits, to see
the trains of the Olde Newburgh Model Railroad
Club go on their merry way through villages and
mountains, to pick up bargain books, and to
welcome Douglas Barberio's new book, "Middletown
and Unionville Railroad," to the ranks of big
engine history.

MRRD 2010
What a great day! Thanks to
all who came and special thanks to all that came
andhelped out, you truly make the event that
much better.
The M&NJRHS did one heck of a job showcasing the
history of the M&U in displays,photos, and
hardware...Dan Myers brought a wonderful slice
of his collection.
Doug Barberio signed his new M&U book and
presented 2 killer PP presentations, I counted
over 75 people for his M&U and connecting lines
show. Walter Conklin
blew everyone way with his Virtual reality
presenation on the M&U.
The Newburgh model RR club had its 20 x 20 HO'
scale layout in full operation and the books,
models, and collectibles were flying off the
vendor's tables.
The shocker of the year was when an Alderman
from the City of Middletown read a proclamation
on behlaf of the Mayor proclaiming July 26, 2010
Middletown Railroad Day and then told everyone
"that the City is trying to save the AV
Station"!!!
I don't think any of us even knew they were
involved in trying to do this but if they pull
it off in any way, sahpe or form, it will go
down as one of the greatest comeback stories of
all time. I know, I know, when it happens you'll
believe it and I feel the same way but I would
rather hold onto some hope rather than resolve
myself to the fact that the wrecking ball is a
day away.
Thanks again for all the help...Jeff, Liz, Ray,
Dottie, Mal, Tom M, Joey, Bob M.,Carl, George,
Doug, and everyone who brought displays. (and
anyone I forgot!)
Special Thanks to Ray Kelly for the photos
