Chuck Amstein Photos, Day 1

Chuck Amstein was on hand on Saturday to take some pictures. He didn't stay around for the evening operations but says he will on Sunday. Thanks!

And here's a link to his video.

Say, did we mention that trolley buses were running?

The following sequence was taken as we were putting the train away.
