Club Run - 9/23/17


.
Ron Trenhaile departs the station with Kitty Shriver pulled by his scratch-built electric powered FP40 diesel engine. Ron and Kitty as they pass me by.
Jonathan Shaffer passes thru Shoe as he heads into the Covered Bridge with the club's GP38, running light. Wally Pausch emerges from the Covered Bridge as he takes the slight grade up to Zip Junction.
Dick Clark with his SW1500 gas powered diesel running on the Branch line crosses over the two main lines at Zip Junction. Jonathan on the main line road crossing approaches Zip Junction.
Next to arrive at the same location is Wally following some distance behind. Dick on the Branch Line will soon cross over Summit Bridge after climbing the grade up from Cheat Bridge.
Paul Emch departing Shriver Station with his passengers passes us as Dick arrives back at the station. During a lull in the running some of the equipment sits on the sidings by the station.
Dick's train on the sidings with Ron's, along with Valerie Bilchak's electric powered switcher that is under construction. Frank Foti with East Wind up on a steaming bay answers guests questions as he works to put a fire in the firebox.
Wayne Boron and Paul Emch check the points on a switch to a siding in front of our water tower. A view of the members in front of the station.
Valerie arriving back at the station as she gets some running time on the scratch built engine chassis and it must be good as she is all smiles. With club runs, we do two way running and Ron with his passengers pulls into the station running eastbound.
Dick Scott as engineer of the Parks engine as he arrives back into the station running eastbound which is contrary to our running on Public Run days.Dick in background as Jusdon talks to Dave Woldman in front of Shriver Station.
Our vice-president of the club, Jen Zorko, keeping an eye on the proceedings? A head-on shot of Ron arriving back at the station with Judson in the background "walking" his train through a switch to move off the mainline track.
Frank lubricating the running gear as he waits for East Wind to get to operating steam pressure. Chris Cooper at the controls of Wally's switcher as they arrive back at the station and Wally still cannot figure out how he lost control of his train.
As Jonathan departs the station westbound, Dave and Valerie pass us running eastbound as they approach the station. Looking at the ash pan below the cab on East Wind you can see the glow of the hot coals as steam pressure increases in the boiler.
Judson passes us as he heads for the switch to get on the mainline at Hemlock running westward. Dave and Valerie waiting for the block to clear so that they may acquire the signal to proceed.
Chris and Dick passing by each other as they transit the Branch Line with Chris clearing the signal at Bruce which in turn Dick acquired. Jonathan departs the station with his passengers all smiling riding behind him.
Riding in the gondola are Ethan Deptowicz and his friend Aiden Rittenberry. Riding in the last car, also a friend of Ethan, is Logan Ryan as the train gains some speed leaving the station.
After arriving back at the station, Jonathan talks with Kitty Shriver before his next run. See those dirty hands on Frank Foti, East Wind wants Frank's hands to look like the inside of his smoke box so you will think he is having a good time.
