On the loop behind Orchard Yard I caught Ken Vendlinger with his electric powered switcher as he starts the curve that will bring him into Shriver Station. Having just passed over Festival Bridge and thru Thorn, Mike heads for the station as he nears the end of his run.

Here we have Paul crossing Big Bend Bridge with one of his passengers doing a magic trick, that of the old "floating hand". Ken gives a wave as he exits the Big Bend Bridge and heads for Pandora with his passengers.

John Koontz was the next to come by with the Park engine and a full load of passengers as they head for Pandora and the Covered Bridge. Mike running the Camelback is at the end of the bridge with a smiling load of riders at he makes his way into the darkness of the night.

This telephoto shot of Dick Clark with his SW1500 on Big Bend Bridge shows a train on the curve in the background approaching Ridgeway which is much further away than it looks. John Deptowicz with the Snoopy train as he rumbles over the wooden bridge.

Ron Malinowski with his electric powered switcher just rolled out on the bridge with his passengers that seem to be enjoying the ride. Bob as he crosses Big Bend Bridge with that unmistakeable throbbing of a diesel engine as he appeared out of the darkness in the light of the flashgun.

Ron was next to come by at the same location and in a few minutes will crossing the Big Bend Bridge with his passengers. Coming down the grade from Hilton, Paul appeared with his Fire Ball Express after crossing over the double crossover at Gulch as he coasted down grade.

Kenny passes by a little later and is all smiles as he loves running his train during these public events. John as he coasts down grade approaching Gulch with with his train and Matthew Bolyard is his conductor at the rear.

Ron passes by my location with passengers that are obviously enjoying the night ride. This photo definitely proves there is a crossing as Bob passes over it with the clickity-clack of the wheels over the gaps in the rails for the crossing.

Skip Frank with his Columbia steamer as he approaches Hilton having just left the station a few minutes earlier. Ron advances the throttle on his engine as he starts out on his next run leaving the station with two passengers.

Mike after passing through the Truss Bridge and the Camelback is hardly working with his passenger load. Things are thinning out back at the station as John takes off for another run with his son Ethan riding behind him.

John and Matthew wait for Greg Guy to load their train and the passengers standing in line is dwindling down. Ethan enjoying a piece of watermelon by the roaring fire as his dad, John, starts Snoopy rolling down the track for his next trip.
