The next program meeting of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society will be held as follows:

Date: Saturday, November 15, 2025
Time: TO BE ANNOUNCED
Topic: The Thanksgiving Wreck at Woodstock
Speaker: Richard Neil, author of the book All the Livelong Day
Location: Leeds Historic Depot
901 Thornton Avenue NE
Leeds, Alabama 35094

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Description: Richard's book All the Livelong Day chronicles the November 25, 1951, train wreck in Woodstock, Alabama, that killed 17 people. But this book is more than an account of that event. It is the story of Richard's father, Robert, who was fireman aboard Train Second 47 that collided with Train 48 that fateful day.

Have you noticed why we are having Richard give his presentation in November? Compare the title of the presentation to what holiday we celebrate later in November, and plan to attend the meeting as your first "Thanksgiving Event" this year!!
