Trolley Sunday

 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.
