April Cars n Coffee
Well, for those of you who did not attend the Cars n Coffee yesterday, you missed a real treat. The Green Goat was fabulous. Amazing food and very reasonable price. Great turnout!
The Green Goat (in an environmentally friendly hybrid switching locomotive) is proud to make Wasena Station its home. Originally a rail-yard freight depot, & then home to the transportation museum, the building has sat empty since the flood of 1985. It is now The Green Goat, a must restaurant to visit!

TRSS Returns
A partial message from Brett Randolph: “It has been a long 2 years folks, but I’m happy to announce that we are bringing TRSS Street Survival back in Fall 2022! Although we do not know the exact outline of Covid this fall, I do believe it will be safe enough to host an event and we will certainly make accommodations for Covid concerns, etc. You all should have received an email invitation from me during planning for previous Schools and many of you instructed and/or volunteered at our previous events. I think all of you know me by now, but just in case, my name is Brett Randolph with VDOT, and I will be chairing the upcoming Street Survival Event. ”
