Trolley Pageant


The trolley pageant went well, except for the weather: it was drizzling most of the day. Just about everything that was scheduled to operate did so anyway. I'll update this post with pictures as they arrive. Here's our first submission, a picture from Kirk Warner. Thanks, and keep 'em coming!








Frank adds:
On the left is another photo of our trusty motorman, this time in the 308 (note C-21 controller) westbound at Johnson Siding. And below is some brief video I took with my point-and-shoot Kodak of a meet at Johnson immediately following the parade. Only at IRM!




On the right we see the lineup at Schmidt Siding prior to the start of the pageant. From left to right we see the back end of the L4's tank car train; ComEd SW1 15 towing the dead New York subway cars (does this mean we can use a steeplecab to pull a non-operable diesel in the Parade of Power later this month?); wood Chicago "L" cars followed by 4000's; and North Shore 714-160 directly behind us on Schmidt Siding itself.
