Location
Dinner Train 2 Alexander Road Portsmouth RI 02871
This location will serve as a meeting venue only. No food is involved, so make other arrangements prior to or following the meeting. The train will be stationary.
Directions (Driving): (Use the address '2 Alexander Road, Portsmouth' for GPS maps). From West Main Road (Rt.114) in Portsmouth, the entrance to the "Melville Marine District" (big sign) is directly across from the Dunkin' Donuts on West Main Road. Follow Stringham Road all the way to the bottom, cross the tracks, and bear right into the lot. There is ample parking.
For those who use public transit, it might be preferable to get a ride with someone who's driving. RIPTA's 60-bus does travel on West Main Road, but at half the schedule where there's a bus once an hour daytime, and at night that becomes a bus every two hours. Also, from the West Main Road / Stringham Road intersection, the distance to the Melville Depot is one mile.

"Thank you to Jim Mathews and the Rail Passengers Association for presenting me with this prestigious award. I am always looking at ways to work with the railroads and rail advocates to improve the passenger experience."
