I used to be the Coordinator of the Suffolk Seaboard Station museum, an old train station in Suffolk, Va. You can access a video that aired on a TV from my sideboard on most viewed posts...it's the first one, and called "Postcards." I hope it is still accessible! It's about five years old. I'd love to hear from you after you see it. Again...great post!A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-17703130545294881592014-12-15T07:16:44.650-06:002014-12-15T07:16:44.650-06:00It is a nice place to live.

I took a look at the post and the link to the photos from the 2013 Swap Meet--looks like railroad shows in the Pacific Northwest have pretty much the same format as here, just different people and a varied selection of items. I think I would feel right at home.
