Minnesota Regional Railroads Association
2005 Conference

On behalf of the Minnesota Regional Railroads Association, we would like to thank everyone for attending our conference in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. This year's conference was a great success thanks in part to everyone's participation, some cooperative weather and a bit of good luck.

As promised, posted below are links to the presentations from our various panelists. Again, the MRRA would like to thank everyone for helping make this conference a great success.

We hope to see you next year!
