>
Josh Frank backing "Scrappy" into a siding at the station. Paul Emch departing the station with a happy load of passengers.
Dave's train is loaded and Roy is giving the last of instructions to the riders. Dick is filling his air tank for the air brakes on his train as Roy loads the cars.
Dick's smiling passengers as the train just starts to move out down the mainline. Linda Harris at the controls of Rex's train pulls up to take on a load of passengers.
Ted Nyland walks past Karl Losely on the Hudson as Judson Elliott talks with Bill Besselman. Caught Jerry Bell unaware of the camera as he is a conductor for one of the trains.
RC Yedlicka our faithful passenger counter in his chair dutifully taking care of the task at hand. Karl on the Hudson and Don Spiedel with his switcher at the loading area.
Karl starting his run with a full load of passengers. Don waits on his switcher as Judson's train is loaded up with passengers as Roy tries to balance out the load on the cars by rider placement.
"Scrappy" kept some of the members' guests happy and occupied on the loop behind the station. Bill's G&D stock car complete with six cast iron cows, no manure but a sound system of bellowing cows that drives the conductors buggy.
Bill's NKP wood caboose which rides behind the cattle car. Karl crossing over Cider Bridge at mile marker 4.5 which is behind the station.
Judson with his trainload of passengers at Cider Bridge will shortly arrive at the station. Two hundred feet down the track with the Hudson and Pacific. I think I see a few mosquitos over their heads.
That's good guys, I think you got rid of them with that smoke. Frank loaded first so he is heading out for some fresh air.
If you want to check the condition of your track take a long telephoto picture and it will show you potential trouble spots, Dick fixed those in this photo afterwards. Rick Nagy passes by Zip Junction.
Karl passing through Horrendeous blowing the whistle for the grade crossing. Paul approaching Zip Junction with his trainload of passengers.
Don with his switcher heading Westbound out of Horrendeous approching Zip Junction. Dave coming out of the curve from Shoe with his passengers.
Chet passing over the crossings at Zip on his way to the station. Linda on the curve from Shoe with Jerry Bell as conductor of the trainload of passengers.
Low angle shot of Dick and his trainload of passengers. Frank at Shoe trying to take care of the mosquito problem and it seems to be working.
Skip passing thru Pandora after coming off Big Bend Bridge. With the run over Jon Jaros is taking a run with Franks engine and I caught him approaching Horrendeous.
Jon as he throttles back to coast into the station. Don at Horrendeous on the way back to the station.
Rex with his train and Pam Znidar as his conductor passing thru Horrendeous. The run is over and the steamers are doing a blowdown of their boilers after having dropped their fires. Another good run.
