There will be an open house at the Amtrak maintenance facility at Bear,
Delaware, on Saturday, June 7, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There will be two model railroad clubs represented, the National
Railroad Historical Society, food and refreshments, and facility tours,
and other attractions.
The maintenance facility is located just off US 40 about about half a
mile west of Salem Church Road and about a mile east of Glascow. The
main building, which is abot 1/4 mile long and houses nine tracks, is
not visible from U. S. 40, but a sign marks the turn.
The Bear facility performs heavy overhaul and repair for Amtrak's
Amfleet equipment.
Whether or not you are interested in railroads, you would fine this an
interesting Saturday outing.
