The 2022 WP Convention was held May 12-14, 2022 in Reno, Nevada, and ended with an exclusive Museum Day in Portola on Sunday, May 15, for those attending the WP Convention. Convention attendees were given a private caboose train ride and the first public opportunity to see restored steam locomotive Western Pacific 0-6-0 165 in action. Guided tours of the collection were offered. In addition, convention attendees were able to board a shuttle bus that took them to the home of FRRS member Chris Skow, where they were able to experience his spectacular garden railway and tour his collection of Western Pacific artifacts.

There is a separate gallery dedicated to the day's non-WP 165 events HERE!
