The first day of Thomas was busy as usual. I didn't get a chance to take many pictures during the day, but in the morning here he is ready to start pulling the train. I note that he seems to have a new paint scheme.
I was the conductor on the 4391. While waiting to go into service, I noticed this historic flag in Barn 7. The Museum has been putting up various patriotic displays in honor of the 250th anniversary of our nation. And I must admit I wasn't familiar with this particular flag, although I remember reading about John Paul Jones as a youngster.
You can learn something new every day at IRM.
And here's the required crew picture: Jeff Obarek and me. Operations went smoothly all day.
And among other things, the Electroliner made a stunning display on the ladder track.
The main reason seems to have been so that new ballast could be dumped on track 71.
Property improvement never stops.
And of course, Thomas tickets are still on sale!
