Editor's Notes:
The evolution of North Western Lines and the Newsliner continues with several changes in this issue. First, rather than a stand-alone Newsliner, it is bound in the middle of this issue. That makes it easier to keep it as part of the permanent record, and actually saves funds compared to a separate item stuffed in the polybag with the magazine. For this issue, primarily as a result of space requirements for the Eau Claire coverage, we’ve put the North Western News in the Newsliner.
There were a couple of news photos for this issue that seemed best-placed on glossy pages — including the nice photograph at right, as well as the shot on the rear cover.
Often members of the C&NWHS wonder when NWL was mailed. On the White River Productions website at: http://whiteriverproductions.com/PubSched.html, at press and mail dates are posted so members can easily see the mail dates. —Kevin EuDaly, NWL Editor
