This note is for anybody planning to join us for the 2012 version of the CNE Historical tour.
Hi, We are almost a month away from our trip and I am trying to get a feel for our final head count. At this point we have one bus full. If you could let me know if you are going or not going, it would help us greatly to plan our bus and printing needs. We are meeting at the Canaan depot, driving to Norfolks Haystack mountain and Stoney Lonesome, then east to the Whiting arches and furnaces, finishing the morning at the Canaan yards. Will will have lunch at the depot and Pete MacLachlan will show slides and talk about his experiences operating the Lakeville branch and the attempt to keep the branch running. In the afternoon, we will proceed west to State Line and Millerton. We had to pay additional fuel charges last year so we had to increase the fare to $55. thanks,
Joe Mato
*************************************************************************************
The 2012 tour will be on Sunday
April 1st (rain or shine).
We will depart from the parking lot of the train station in Canaan, CT
The 2012 tour will cover the CNE between Norfolk, CT and the NY
State line at Millerton plus Copake in NY.
The exact routing is subject to change if we run into any last minute
problems or find a new way to get the buses into a small space. Due
to the narrow roads and lack of suitable parking in much of the general
area of our tour, some locations can only be shown from the bus
or in photographs. We will show you as much as we possibly can.
As usual, everybody will get a copy of the 2012 CNE Tour guide
book. We have a lot of ground to cover so we will have coffee and
buses will roll at 9:00.
The cost of this year's tour will be $55.00 per person and
payment should be made out to: Joseph Mato CNE 2012

need to. If you don't have E-Mail then include your phone number.

Any money that is left after expenses will be used as "seed money"
for next years trip.
As we did last year, we have two buses with 55 seats each. In past
years we sold all seats and had a waiting list so don't wait too long to
send in your reservation. Please note that any request for refunds
must be received thirty (30) or more days in advance of
the tour date. If you can find a replacement to take your bus seat,
that's OK just let us know who it is. We have to know who to let
onto the bus when the tour starts. If you can't find a replacement
then we may have somebody on the waiting list to suggest but we
can't refund money that has already been spent on tour expenses.
