The Board of Directors of the Friends of the 169 is a diverse group of enthusiasts, who live all over the United States. The Board meets monthly by conference call and we have an annual meeting, at a date and time determined by the Board, usually at the National Narrow Gauge Convention. We would love to meet you and share our progress and restoration plans for Engine 169 and Business Car B1.
