10.02.05 Public Run - Part II


Ted with his electric interurban coming off Big Bend Bridge. Almost missed this panned shot of Dave Foster with his set of speeders at Pandora.
Paul crossing Zip Junction at about the half way point of the train ride. There's Ken always with a wave and big smile as he passes the main yard in the background.
Chet approaches the turnout to Short after leaving the station. Jon Jaros' Northern chassis waits to be exercised and you can see behind it the line for rides is still long.
Don switching Rogers engine off the main line as he pushes the engine towards the steaming bays. The engine cooling down, sits dejected on the bay...this is not what live steam is all about!
Rex Shriver pulls up for loading as Bob Beardslee tends to the needs of his engine before departing the station. Rex with his train is all loaded and talks with RC Yedlicka, our counter, before his run.
Ken and Chet head up the line as trains bunch up at the station for loading. Dick with his SW1500 and a full load of passengers heads down the main line.
Ted leaving the station with Dave and his speeder behind him. With Dave leaving the station and Linda Harris on the GP38 waiting to pull up to load, Paul Emch behind the blue Conrail engine is next to load.

Pam Znidar being a conductor for the train always has a smile for the camera. Chet, shown here, is a study for deep concentration as he pulls his train forward to the loading area.

Father and son, Mike and Marcel Uhrich with the Hudson. Another father and son team, Roy and Kevin Harris, Roy w/red hat at rear of train and Kevin w/purple hat and blue T shirt load passengers.
At least with a lot of trains waiting to be loaded the engineers can take a few minutes to stretch their legs. Skip opens the throttle and cylinder drains as the steam works its way through the cylinders.
Dick Mackey and Dick Clark in discussion as Brad Studd watches Roy load his train. Paul laughs at a remark and Pam on the last car is his conductor as Kevin and Roy watch as a passenger settles in.

Mike watches Chet preping his engine after he dropped the fire in the firebox. The pilot, cylnders and boiler support on Jon Jaros' Northern chassis.

Brad taking a run with one of the last few trainloads of passengers for our run today. Paul waits as Judson gets loaded by Roy and you can see the end of the line of riders.

Marcel on the Hudson, with Kitty behind him, pushes Jon's Northern chassis around the track to break it in after the public run. Another view of the chassis with the tender chassis and framework behind it.
