Weekend Photo Album

Many thanks to our intrepid freelance photographer, Steven, for sending another photographic record of some of the weekend's highlights!

Mikey, Nathan (shown) and Steven greased the ruling curve on the car line to ease the passage of the open car.

Here's Shaker Heights 18 during its ill-fated outing, though of course it just pulled out to the road and then went back into the yard to clear track 74 for...

...the next car numerically, open car 19! The Veracxruz car is shown here before leaving Barn 7 for its annual HHR outing. The heat was broken but the A/C worked just dandy.

Here's C&NW 411 on the Santa Train in Station Track 2.

The open car was more popular than you might think for December. We also had a high school choral group visiting and caroling via streetcar!

Jeff & Co. outdid themselves again this year with the lights. This impressive train, with GN&A 26 on the point, was lined up on the south turntable lead, while LS&I 35 was also lit up on the north track.

The depot was nicely decorated, as always.

Aboard the open car waiting for the 4391 to pull away from Depot Street.

This particular tree, which is professionally hung with lights ever year, is always impressive. For years this was right by the boarding area, back when the HHR train boarded alongside Barn 9.

After the 18's air compressor failed when the crew went to move it back into Barn 7, ComEd 4 was pumped up to push the car back into the barn.

This is a machine screw from one of the contactors in IT 1565. Hmm, methinks this one may be a goner...
