Various members give a report of happenings at the railroad.

Sunday, May 24 was Memorial Day weekend. The passenger count for the day 456. As expected, the crowd were steady until the weather turned wet around 3:30 pm. Locomotives 13, 5205, and 928 were called up as power for the day. With the holiday weekend, the crew was small and several had little time for breaks. The second to last train of the day was returning from the Wye when it started raining. The last train was held at the station to allow the west bound priority to get home. The rain let up some and the last train - with umbrellas - finished the day.
