Thursday Brief

Weekday service continues on a regular basis during the summer, of course.  Thanks to the many volunteer regulars who make this possible.  This year we're trying to have two cars operating each day, one on the loop and one on the main line.

On Thursday I was able to spend a day running the 714 in mainline service.


I had a pretty good number of passengers on each trip, and everything went well except for a couple of dewirements.  Nothing major, of course.

And here's a relatively new regular: Jim Ward, who was running the 3142.


He's no stranger to IRM or electric railway museums; for many years he lived in California and was an active member at Rio Vista, and in fact was the training director.  He was also a friend of our old buddy Ted Miles, IRM Member.  He has now retired and moved back to Illinois, so he has time to volunteer on a regular basis.  He's a good guy to know!

And the bottom line: we can always use more help on weekdays.
