BORM Dining by Rail

The Bradford Ohio Railroad Museum is gearing up for the 2014 season. The first event on the calendar is Dining By Rail. The museum is making the final plans for the Annual Fund Raising Dinner and Silent Auction April 12, 2014.

This is the third year for the event and will be held at Turtle Creek Golf Club on US 36 Greenville, Ohio. The railroads were known for their fine dining. There was always china, fresh linens and fresh flowers on every table. The railroad lines would compete for the best service and meals. Dining By Rail captures some of the railroad dining car experience. The entertainment will be provided by Joseph Helfrich a local musician and entertainer. The dinner will feature entrees from the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Great Northern Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The recipes are taken from the Dining By Rail book authored by rail historian James Porterfield. Mr. Porterfield has put together recipes and menus form the rail lines and some history on the golden age of railroad cuisine.

The silent auction is a very popular and competitive event that completes the evening. There will be something for every age group among the items.
