From the Mailbag

Saturday was supposed to be another RPO Days exhibition, but the Burlington RPO had a bearing problem, as I understand, and so it could not be used in service.  It was, however, parked on the west wye so people could go in, look around, and talk to the crew.  


For mainline service we had the 309 and 319 running all day.  Things went smoothly.


And you knew this was coming: we have to have a picture of the crew.


The conductor was another new member, Curtis Fay-Wolf, who has mostly been working in the Diesel Department, and recently passed the rules test.  So he was lucky enough to get me as a motorman.  He did a good job and we got along well.

The Shay was pulling the mixed train.  It's always fun to watch.



And I should mention that Zach was the dispatcher and kept everything moving efficiently.  The Buck brothers ran the 4391, but I didn't get a chance to photograph them.  And as usual, a good time was had by all!
