Taking the S&DR to the World: 15th & 16th October 2019

October 16, 2019October 23, 2019 Jonathan Ratcliffe

While I was out Kris Hoellen, Executive Director of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum got in touch and invited me over that same afternoon or Wednesday afternoon – brilliant to make contact directly.  Unfortunately, it was too late to travel over (it takes about 2 hours from where I’m staying) on Tuesday, and Wednesday […]

Taking the S&DR to the World: 15th October 2019

October 15, 2019October 16, 2019 Jonathan Ratcliffe

Really big day today!   John and I met with Peter Liebhold, curator, Division of Work and Industry, at the Museum of American History at the Smithsonian – his remit includes rail transport and a lot more, including business and finance history.  We had a very fruitful discussion and have laid the foundations for a productive […]

Taking the S&DR to the World: 14th October 2019

October 14, 2019October 16, 2019 Jonathan Ratcliffe

No S&DR appointments today – so we took a Metro into Washington (great system here) and visited the Museum of African American History and Culture.  What a place!  It’s been opened for three years and has had more than 6m visitors so far.  I can’t tell you how inspirational it was – they even had […]

We arrived in Washington DC yesterday evening. Turns out our friends’ mother grew up in Baltimore and lives nearby.  She is staying with our friends, looking after their house and a dog called ‘Woodie’ (after Woodrow Wilson) and is 76.  She immediately said she would drive me to Baltimore to the B&O and show me […]

Taking the S&DR to the World: 11th October 2019

October 11, 2019October 16, 2019 Jonathan Ratcliffe

I’m out here to make international contacts for the S&DR using a British Council/Heritage Alliance Travel Grant so on Friday I drove for four hours to College Station, Bryan Texas in a huge vehicle – an SUV – and on the wrong side of the road!  I’ve never driven over here before but I did […]

Taking the S&DR to the World: 9th October 2019

October 9, 2019October 16, 2019 Jonathan Ratcliffe

I’ve been helping at the Summit for five years but this is the first time I have actually presented myself – my first real attempt to take the story of the S&DR out there to a number of American and international companies and organisations – including Microsoft.  People come from as far afield as South […]
