Friends Assist with Customer Christmas Party
December 2, 2007
The Friends of the Santa Maria Valley Railroad assisted with the railroad's first-ever private corporate Christmas party on the La Condesa, December 2, 2007 for Tartaglia Engineering.
The SMVRR used the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum's La Condesa, also for its first run on the SMVRR.
