The crowd is thinning out at the show late Sunday afternoon. Loading up Frank's Pacific after the show closed. Many hands make the job easier as the engine is aligned with the rails on the trailer. |

Rolling the engine off of the display stand. The engine on the trailer and the tender will be loaded next. |
 |

Kevin Harris transported the flat car in his car by dropping down the back seat and loading it in from the trunk. That's two spare sets of trucks on the flat car. |

Franks tender being loaded on the trailer. They'll be lugged down to the trailer for the ride home. Roger Harnish, Roy Harris and Jon Jaros loading Jon's Northern chassis in the trailer. |

The weather was biting cold with the wind and all that's left is to load the display racks into the trailer and another RailFest is relegated to history. |
