• Construction of the inspection pit in the Steam Shop
• The Electroliner got put back together
• Operation of both the Decapod and the Shay several times this year
• First operation of the velocipede!
• Special days such as Pumpkin, Thomas, Vintage Transport, and Happy Holiday all went well.
• And as usual, operations proceeded smoothly and safely during the year, thanks to our operating department.
• Perhaps most importantly, we have several new active volunteers.  We are certainly grateful for their help, and hope they will stay with us for a long time!

And a public service announcement:

There's plenty  to celebrate, but don't let others talk you into overdoing things.  You might regret it.
