On Sunday, we had a few idle hours for a change, so my wife and I decided to drive out to IRM to visit and ride the train. Luckily the weather was pleasant, after all the rain we've been getting. The two mainline trains are seen above -- they make a nice contrast.
The 3:00 trip was nearly full, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I think that makes about 45 years of part-time labor all worthwhile.
Of course, we need the usual crew picture. Here we see the (temporarily maskless) conductor Noah Uher and motorman Larry Stone.
Here Mike Stauber is checking his new yellow paint on the 3142. As he says, it's much easier to see any problems in daylight, instead of in the barn. But it looks great.
And here's the 36 over the pit being inspected, as reported before.
Once in a while it's nice to take a break!
