On Sunday from 9:30-11:30 a.m. a breakfast buffet will<br />
be served at the Steaming Tender Restaurant located in the<br />
historic Palmer Station. The Steaming Tender is not normally<br />
open for breakfast but will be for this event. Palmer station<br />
is located at the diamond where the New England Central<br />
railroad crosses the CSX Railroad. The location is easily<br />
accessible from Interstate 90, the Massachusetts Turnpike,<br />
using exit 8. If you sign up for this event, we will provide<br />
maps and driving instructions in your registration package.<br />
This spot has been designated as one of New England’s hot<br />
spots for train watching.<br />
After breakfast, tour attendees will have the opportunity<br />
to visit Phil Opielowski’s O <strong>Scale</strong> Ware River Railroad and<br />
see an accurate scratchbuilt model of the Richardson-style<br />
Palmer station circa 1950’s with a full interior, built from the<br />
original plan. Phil models the old B&A Ware River Branch<br />
from Palmer to Barre Massachusetts. You have probably<br />
read construction articles by Phil in many model railroad<br />
magazines over the years and you will see many examples<br />
of Phil’s structures on the Ware River Railroad.u<br />
