Well this sucks, guess 2021 is no better than 2020. I was able to make it this year too.
Thanks Ben...
Unfortunate, but I think the right decision... maybe you could live-stream a tour of the layout in place of the actual event??? And we’ll all be expecting you to serve cans of Bohack’s Beer next year 
So sad. 
Sad for you guys. I always enjoyed the pics and the stories. Hoping next year will be bigger and better than ever!!
I was talking to my wife last night about attending in 2022. This whole virus thing draws a vacuum.
This stinks. I was hoping it would happen but I knew most likely this would be the case.

That would be funny if it weren't so sad Ben. 
Actually, it is pretty funny! 
Did you get the hats made? I think I need one of those! 
I consider 2021 a clean up year for 2020. It'll probably take until next year to get everyone vaccinated that wants it.
Countdown to 2022!

Agree. Can't imagine most, if any, train meets happening in 2021 either. Sadly haven't been paying attention though I think April York will see the plug pulled plus any train organizations summer conventions.
SORRY to hear about the cancellation. I just got on the waiting list at my local health dept to get the vaccine.
Sad that such a great event is cancelled though. I hope to attend one day.
That being said, You can keep the hat.
Sad, understandable, and the right decision. Thank you Ben and all the HiRailers for past and future events.
2021 is NOT 2020. It will be better. I believe we will see much better things in store for us in 2021.
Paul - that's my story and I'm sticking to it - Licata
Well be back!!!!

Marty, it's going to be a collector's item, just wait and see!
Bummer!
Anticipated and understandable. I definitely need a hat! I couldn't attend last year, had just lost Marty and this year I couldn't have attended. Total hip replacement I had on Dec. 23 means traveling for me isn't a possibility for a while even without Covid. Just wait until next year!!
Wow Dotty, I hope 2021 treats you much better, and I hope we can still get the hats, just for the fun of it. 
How are you feeling after the hip replacement, that's some serious surgery?
Dotty - best wishes for a speedy recovery! My dad just had the same surgery in August.

Comes as no surprise to cancel Trainstock. My own club is not open and we probably will not reopen until the summer.
Having Trainstock in January 2022 gives the NY Jets a good year to prepare for their Super Bowl appearance!

Sad that they won't be there, right?
Ted and GunrunnerJohn, the Jets will be at the 2022 Superbowl .... in the stands .... watching the Broncos and Seahawks! And Yes, I'm doing OK after my surgery. Will be back on my feet and ready for the train shows when we can have them again.
That's the only way the Jets get to see the Superbowl! 
Glad you're on the mend, you'll be able to run the 100 yard dash in no time.

Hope you heal fast!
Thanks for the official notice, Ben. Sadly, I figured as much. It's the right call, though, given the high numbers right now.
I keep hoping the vaccines become available in large-enough numbers to get down to Kathie and me. We can't wait. Our sleeves are already rolled up (figuratively at least).
Happy New Year, everyone. Stay well, and let's hope the numbers come down enough for the spring York Meet to be held.
Chris (and Kathie)
I can't even stand to look at that furry Corona any more.

Well, at least that went right.....
Bummer indeed.
At least you all will now feel my pain as a Cubs fan. I’m always waiting for next year!! I can do this time standing on my head!!
How about a live stream of you guys running some trains???

Didn’t they win just 4 years ago? I have been waiting a lot longer than that. Mets-1986, Dolphins-1973, Rangers-1994.
Hopefully, there will be a lot of good times between now and the next Trainstock. April and October York, First Frost Meet, etc. I can patiently wait. For every new Trainstock that means I am a year older. I hope we can all make it there safely.
Sorry for you guys that could but can't go. I did get my first shot a couple of weeks ago. Second one soon. Maybe we can beat this thing if enough of us get the shots. Maybe someday I can get to York. Don
I hope you can have the next Trainstock as scheduled
We really hope this mess is gone before the next one With the amount of people getting vaccine I am confident the next one is a go. Thanks everybody for your support
I would definitely love to attend a Trainstock event next year. Since buying the calendars, that helps to know when things occur as well as people commenting that I follow. Hope to get there Ben. See what comes.
