Railroads provided the first cross-country supply chain for meat and perishables to get to market. How did food in the cars stay cooled before mechanical refrigeration? All the effort may surprise you.Presenter Info: Brian Buchanan is a lifelong railroader who, in his retirement, wants to Educate, Engage, and Entertain people about his favorite topic – how railroads work – by using Museum artifacts to explain. With it being winter, and it being too cold for us to pump the railroad handcar up and down the track, he is looking forward to evenings (indoors) discussing and illustrating the railroad’s rich history.
Tickets are $8 each, and attendance is free for Museum members. Reservations are encouraged, but not required for this event. Tickets and more info at https://nationalrrmuseum.org/historyafterdark/
