Blue Car Operation

The weather today was just right, slightly cool, and we had a good crowd of visitors. The 308 and 309 ran all day with plenty of satisfied customers.

Here's the ever-popular caboose train. The problem we run into with the caboose train is that it's hard to get enough crewmen. We need one person for each caboose, but each car holds only 10 or 12 people, so they fill up quickly.

Here's our crew on the interurban train: conductor Dan Buck, myself as trainman, and motorman Jim Nauer. Everything went well. These cars will be running again on Monday.

At the request of Julie Johnson, I pulled the 319 and the newly-repainted 460 outside so they could be cleaned in anticipation of Members' Day, two weeks from now. Don't miss it!
