Rep. Mike Peifer talks with Camrin Northrop, a member of the United States Air Force, at Vetstock. Vetstock is a weekend-long event that honors the sacrifice and service of victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and War on Terror.

Taking part in the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Shoholoa Civil War train wreck are Rep. Mike Peifer, Sen. Lisa Baker, Harry Forbes of the governor’s northeast region office, and Civil War re-enactors. On July 15, 1864, a steam locomotive hauling 833 Confederate prisoners of war and 128 Union guards collided with another train near Sholola. It is said that five prisoners escaped and 60 to 72 people died in the crash. The commemoration event was hosted by the Shohola Railroad and Historical Society.
