Remembrance of Trains Past

About ROTP

As you might have already discovered, the blog centers around old trains and finescale modelling and random rants.

Please drop a comment if you have an opinion on the blog or anything else for that matter!

  1. Dear Havard,

    For several years, I have been working on a documentary about the Harvey Girls called “Opportunity Bound”, which tells how over 150,000 young women left home and went to work as waitresses along the transcontinental railroad. These Harvey Girls, as they were called, helped open the doors of the workplace to women.

    “Opportunity Bound” recently received sponsorship from KOCE, Orange County’s PBS station. After national PBS broadcast, “Opportunity Bound” will tour to railroad museums through out the country. Despite sponsorship from PBS, I have had difficulty obtaining funding for this important project, and time is running out… the remaining Harvey Girls are in their 80’s and 90’s!

    If you have any leads to corporate sponsors and/or individual donors interested in making a tax-deductible contribution to this important film, please contact me.
