Operations on Saturday went well. I was the motorman on the 309-319, and was too busy to get many pictures, so you'll have to be satisfied with these three. The 1630 was pulling the heavyweight coach train as usual, a real crowd pleaser.
Then the Rock Island Geep was pulling a very authentic-looking freight train with several tank cars, a hopper, and a single caboose. I wanted to get a picture of it, but the schedule just didn't work out. Duty first! The 3142 and 4391 were providing streetcar service.
Two wood L cars were in operation, and here's motorman Zach:
Finally, the 309 and 319 were running again. My conductor was a new volunteer, Drew Beveridge, who came all the way from Indiana to help out. Everything went well.
Later, he switched over to the L cars and Bob Kersey helped me put the train away. Andrew Ossler was the dispatcher and kept everything running smoothly. A good time was had by all!

I seen the Milwaukee 441 on the live tower cam.
That's nice to have this feature.
Good for the ones that can't go to the museum.
EX..Poor Health, Family Personal Reasons and other situations.
Hope that the museum can expand the live cam along the way.
Have a nice day/night.
Thanks and take care
Yes, it was also Bus Day, but I was too busy to take advantage of it. If anyone wants to submit some pictures, we can post them.
