A laid back Richard pulls into the station with his unusual motormans car. Mark Ross is all smiles as he slows for the passing of the station on his gas powered Galloping Goose.

A panned shot of Ethan Deptowicz with his Dad, John out on the mainline track makes it look as though he is going fast. Dave going over the different controls on the hand unit with Bonnie as hubby Steve wants to get a Plum Cove engine.

Mark adding fuel to the Galloping Goose so he can run it a few more trips before our chicken cookout shortly. Some of the members still running will start to put their equipment away because we have a club meeting after the cookout.

Joe looks deep in thought as though pondering if he can get another run in. The Deptowicz family, John, Amy and Ethan taking the Snoopy train around once more to turn the train around for the storage barn.

Members gather at the station waiting for the dinner call that things are ready at the pavillion. You can always talk over the good times and remembrances of the past.

Ethan getting another type of ride as Robbi makes another trip back to the station for food. Late in September the sun casts long hard shadows as the members find it hard to look into it as they sit on the grade wall in front of the station.

Members and guests wait in line as food is being uncovered and readied for serving. A partial view of those in attendance enjoying the good food being served.

Another shot of those in line being served and the flower decorations on the tables that were provided by Mike and Roberta Uhrich. Another picture taken towards the extreme right of the pavillion.

Robbi answering questions and serving food all at once was able to keep up with with the diner's requests. Thomas Ridler shows off one of the flowers with a big smile.

Almost missed those who were behind me when taking the overall pictures of the group. As darkness settles in, Kitty and John watch as Robbi shows Ethan how the skeleton on her apron glows in the dark before we head up to the meeting.
