Greg Guy at the controls of the Park engine puts the train in motion as he starts his first run with passengers today. John Deptowicz gives a smile as he departs Shriver Station with a family riding his Snoopy train.

Dave Woldman on the left, waits for Paul Zorko's train to be loaded with passengers by Roy Harris, our train loader for today. Looking down the stack of East Wind, a 4-6-2 Pacific type steam engine that just pulled into the station.

John Riba with his electric powered GP9 diesel that's complete with a sound system departs the station. Taren Hillger is the conductor for John's train to watch over the riders during the run.

Bob Craig with his scratch-built diesel that is actually powered by a diesel engine taken from an auto. Andy Yedlick, sitting at the loading terminal, is keeping track of the rider count for todays run.

Dick Scott with the club's NKP switcher gives a wave to Greg as they pass each other, one leaving Horrendous and the other entering. Mike Harkleroad with the club's GP38 passes by Frank Foti with East Wind at the same location.

A second photo to show the passengers as the trains pass each other. John with his Snoopy train as he passes thru Zip Junction on his way to Horrendous.

Frank Smoley with his gas powered engine departing Horrendous as he heads for Zip Junction with his riders. Ted Nyland with his pair of interurbans and smiling passengers as he passes over the grade crossing, heading for Zip Junction.

Dave gives a wave as he and Ted pass each other traveling in opposite directions at Zip Junction. Back at the station Greg gives a look over his shoulder at his passengers before moving his train.

Ken Vendlinger gives a wave as he starts his run as engineer of the Reading switcher which is electric powered. Dave coasts to a stop at the loading area so Roy can load his train with passengers.

Dave just started rolling down the track as Mike with the GP38 moves into position for Roy to load his train with riders. Mike checking the air pressure in his air tank required for train braking as he waits for Roy to start loading.

Mike adding air to the tanks as Bob watches how Roy loads his train with passengers. Bob pulls away from the loading area on his next run as the train just starts moving.

Mike checks over the gauges as he gets ready to start his next run with the big engine. John with Snoopy waits to load riders as Paul with his Fire Ball Express starts his train rolling down the main line.

John starts his run to the sound of that Ace pilot, Snoopy, revving his engine for a takeoff in his World War I fighter plane sitting on the roof, er.. cockpit. Frank starts his next run as he rolls down the track on the mainline.

Dick departs Shriver Station with a light load of riders for this run. Ron Malinowski's train is being loaded as Frank moves up to the loading area with East Wind.

As Ron departs the station Frank checks the time to see how many minutes he has before he starts his next run.....not likely. With his passenger cars loaded Frank cracks the throttle and East Wind puts his shoulder into getting the heavy train in motion.

Ted quietly rolls away from the loading area with his electric powered interurbans with his passengers. Roy gives directions to the riders loading on Daves' train as Bob pulls up to the loading area.
