Ken Brooks looks over his shoulder and waits for the all clear so that he can move his train out on the main line. Rex Shriver acting as a pessimist thinks we will be getting rain and is running with his engine covered just in case.

Jerry Bell as engineer of the Park engine is about to start his run with a fully loaded train with John Blotnick as his conductor. As Paul Emchs' train leaves the station he is all smiles on this beautiful day.
