Various members give a report of happenings at the railroad.
Saturday, June 27 was Member's Day. Mike Brennan took the caboose and was in the Ballwin Day Parade. The theme was Books on Parade and he had signs on the fload about the "Little Red Caboose" and "I follow behind the Little Engine that Could". It was nice to see several out of town members such as our last charter member, Don Miller and his wife. While it was HOT (temp near 100) everyone had a great time running trains.
Sunday, June 28. The passenger count for the day was 402. The weather was much cooler and only around 85 with a mild breeze. Power for the day was 928, 400 and 13 with the 5205 on the work train.
