Mark Snyder, Greensboro Bend station resident and Bend railroad history guide, addresses visitors at the Greensboro Bend Park.

At activities for the Greensboro Bend Park were Bend Revitalization Initiative President (and 2023 Greensboro Award recipient) Dan Predpall and his wife Dianne.

Mark Snyder explains the decorative woodwork of the railroad station built in the early 1900s during activities at the Greensboro Bend Park. He noted the men’s door as distinct from the women’s door (up the stairs on the right) because the women found it unpleasant to mix with the men as they waited for train arrivals.

The Rural Arts Collaborative held the first of several summer activities planned for the Greensboro Bend Park adjacent to the new rail trail. The activities on June 10 included a hands-on art program for youngsters and a tour and railroad history talk. Among the participants were Rural Arts Coordinator Lisa Wolfgang (second from left), and BRI (Bend Revitalization Initiative) members Jane Johns (third from right) and Nancy Hill (far right).

A railroad roadbed maintenance car (flanger) with structure on its underside identifying it as distinct from its appearance as a caboose was on display at the Greensboro Bend Park.
