We had a special Open House as part of the 2009 Quantico Christmas Parade. The Town was alive with a wide variety of groups in the parade, including the Prince William County Model Railroad Club. Our regular monthly Open House at the Quantico Depot is the first Saturday of the month...come & see our home layout. |

| Several of our members thrilled the assembled crowd with our intricate train movements. Our complex train organization was flawless. | |||
All of our parade cars are handmade and display our name proudly. We almost lost our gondola but he caught up to the rest of the train. |
|||
| Seeing a caboose is a rare treat these days but we have plenty on our layout and in the parade as well. No train is really complete without a caboose. |  |

Back at the layout the crowd welcomed the visit by the man himself...Santa Claus! | ||
Our old R F & P switcher is workign hard on this day switching the local coal mine up the track from Cooper's Hollow. |

-It is a Sunday and everybody gets some rest. We find this Penny loco waiting ont he siding near Easton. | ||
| Things are on the quiet side at the Evanport Roundhouse. There are a variety of locos waiting for their next assignment and some minor repairs in progress. |  |

Since the Quantico Parade attracts a huge crowd, the VRE ran a special train for the such a special day. Despite the big crowds, everything ran smoothly at Union Station. | ||
