Greetings!
Day started at just under 50 degrees and ended up in the low 60's with bright sunshine all day! The third Saturday of pumpkin trains saw 612 riders with pumpkin sales today just a little over 300. So the final 3 day (9 train) total was 1,973 riders. We ran close to capacity! Thanks to all who helped today, and on the other two Saturdays this month.
Because everyone was tied up working the trains in various capacities, not much else going on today. The only two photos are of the very end of the day with the train crew of Steve Henrichs (on the platform of number 11 in the first photo) and Bjarne Henderson (at the throttle of the G.E.) as they got set to couple onto C&O Kanawha # 2789 and push her back into the Shop. The second photo shows just after the 2-8-4 was coupled, and just before the push was started.
Next week is the Halloween train, departing the museum at 4:00 p.m. with very limited seating.
Have a great week folks!
Les
