9.22.07 Run for Park Volunteers Appreciation Day Picnic


Because of a prior commitment I didn't get to the track till 6:30pm where John Deptowicz was telling Bill Besselmen about his Snoopy engine. Sue Knox watches as Roberta Uhrich shows Edith Hacker some pictures she took.
John with Ethan and Amy passed through the station area with the Snoopy theme music playing. Members and friends at the station watching the trains pass by and having entertaining conversation.
Joshua with his Dad, Rob Frank behind him waits as the passengers unload. Sue and Roberta at the station as Frank Foti pulls in from a run and Kitty Shriver waits to help with unloading passengers.
With cyclinder cocks open Frank moves Eastwind forward to the loading area. Passengers that just unloaded from Skip Frank's train.
Dick Clark's train with a full trainload of park volunteers and family pulls into the station. Skip Frank with his steamer "Lynn" waits to pull up to load as Dick waits for his train to unload it's passengers.
Good fellowship and conversation following the run as they wait for the trains ahead to load. Dick answers questions about the length of the track and how long we have been in the Park.
More riders load at the station before the train moves up. Rick at left waits for Dick's train to finish loading and the amount of riders appears to be thinning out.
No new riders waiting for a ride so Rick has the train all to himself as Mike Uhrich pulls up from unloading. John, Amy and Ethan with their Snoopy train and no riders for their train also. Time to have fun.
Joshua and Frank having just come into the station from their runs. Out in the woods I caught up with Skip passing through Horrendous, with whistle blowing for the crossing, heading back to the station.
Amy enjoying a run at the controls of the Snoopy boxcab on Big Bend Bridge. Frank with the last load of passengers for the night approaching Zip Junction.
Rob Frank looks as if he is overcome with smoke but in reality is helping his dad, Skip work on the train. A time shot of the steaming bays with Scrappy at left and Lynn's headlight burning bright with Skip alongside and Frank in front of Eastwind as they tend to their engines after the run.
