Back in the woods the sun was filtering down thru the trees in the calm before the run. It was good to see Ken Vendlinger back at the track with his Reading switcher after an absence. |

At the station the public waits in line for the run to start. Jon Jaros brought his Northern chassis that he is building to get some running time on the mechanism to break it in. |

Judson Elliott pulls into the station to pick up a load of riders. Rex Shriver waits for Karl Losely to finish the instructions to the riders on his train. |

Dave departing the station with Rex waiting for Karl to load his train. Rex has a good load of passengers for this run and many passengers had chemical light tubes around their necks as you can see on Rex. |

Suppressing the flash you can see the chemical light tubes on Rick and his passengers that the park personel were giving out. Karl chatting with the riders between train loading as darkness settled in. |

Pam Znidar is the conductor as this train leaves the station. The riders wait patiently under the clear star filled sky tonight just perfect for the star gazers and their telescopes. |
 |
 |
Roger giving his engine a much needed drink as he tops off the water in the tender. Even though it cooled down after sunset the smiles abounded as the passengers took to the trains. |
 |
 |
Rex looked around as I took the picture..just guess you can't win them all. Rex wondering if he can load more maybe because of the current charge he has left on his batteries. |
