It occurred to me that any potential new volunteers instead of wondering if they should join, may appreciate a few more facts about our group. Your Railway Needs You!The ELR exists mainly on the efforts of volunteer workers who get nothing for their trouble other the pleasure of keeping one of the country's major preserved railways running.
