Here is a preview of some events and progress associated with the passenger department in the last 6 months.
I hope you will continue to follow the Passenger Coach Department as it makes more progress in 2021. Please consider making a year end contribution and designate it to any of the specific projects shown above. I would like to Wish each and every one of you a Happy, Healthy and Safe Holiday and a Happy New Year! Thanks to everyone that volunteered their time and contributed funds towards any of the coach department projects. Regards Roger Kramer.
