In 1988 the CERA paid a visit to IRM, and we put on a show, as we usually do. The main line had almost reached Seemann Road, but not quite. Among other things, Jim Johnson brought out his panoramic camera and staged a picture of the attendees, of whom I believe there were almost 300. And this picture has recently been hung in the new shop extension (Lean Zero). It's about six feet wide!

Jim was in the shot on the left and right side of the frame. With a view camera you ran behind the train while the lens was panning. Kevin.
I'm sure I'm not in the picture; I was running the 309 that day and it took us a long time to get back to the property. I was aware this photography was going on, but I was never a member of CERA in any case. And Frank wasn't along; he had just turned 6, so we were afraid this would be a long day for him. But these are great memories. We've come a long way!
