Sunday was another busy day for Trolley Weekend, and everything went smoothly. I was running the 309, so I didn't get many pictures. Keep those cards and letters coming, folks!
The 309 was in Jefferson Shuttle service all day. That worked out well and we had a good time. Most of the trips had a good number of passengers. And here's the crew:
The conductor is Tim Wells, who just recently became rules qualified and is learning the ropes to being a conductor. At the end of the day we took one mainline trip.
Meanwhile, Frank had an enjoyable day running the 18. This will be a valuable addition to our operating fleet.
Let's see, what else was running? The Com Ed 4 was pulling a train of three heavyweight coaches, the three-car IT train (277, 518, 234) was running, the IT 101, and the 714 and 749. On the streetcar line, the 18 as mentioned, 3142, and the West Towns 141. A good time was had by all.
I also had the chance to meet several old friends from the early days -- that's always a good thing. And as I always say, you just had to be there in person.
