Parade Part Two

First you need to read Frank's post from earlier.  I have here several more views, but I was busy most of the day and saw only a small part of the festivities.

And I would especially like to thank all the members from other departments - steam, coach, Diesel, etc. - who helped out with this huge undertaking.  We couldn't have done it without them.  My crew consisted of Phil Cwikowski, the conductor, and trainmen Bob Neil and Matt Holtz.  They were very helpful and attentive, and we had a great time.  And of course there were many more on the other trains.

Having said that, let's see some more pictures.  The Liner crew are hard at work on the interior, so it seldom gets out of the barn, unless there's a special occasion.

Here we are at Schmidt Siding, but it looks at lot like the orchard at Wheaton...

And appearing in public for the first time:

Line-up at Johnson, waiting to come back:

I was going to suggest maybe we should do this more often, but maybe I'll wait on that....
