Total ticketed attendance was 18, 369.
Plus several thousand vendors. Sometimes it seemed there were more people with red lanyards walking by than paid attendees.
But it was a good show.
Here’s a quick wrap-up of the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31wZ74BvwL0
A few minutes of action at the Adirondack Railroad booth on Sunday:
I have been amused for many years by the name “Amherst Show,” which is not in Amherst, Massachusetts, where I went to college. I guess it might be considered a `no show’…
It is, after all the Amherst Railway Society that puts it on:

I doubt there is anywhere in Amherst that could handle that size of an event…
The Amherst Railway Society held the show on the UMass campus from 1968 to 1982. It had to move to a new location for 1983, because rhe Campus Center, where the show had been held, was being renovated.
