The June 7th railfan trip was a huge success! We had over 55 riders and family members attend. The back shop tours were very informative and the turntable demonstration was very cool. The ride itself was very relaxing and a cool breeze was blowing off the river keeping the heat at bay. During the run around at Riverside many of us enjoyed a refreshing ice cream treat. The conductors, staff and train crew at the UHRR should be commended for giving us a marvelous day!
We had 4 winners of the cab ride:
Outbound -- Gert Schulze and Paul Hoffman
Inbound -- Dick Davis and Irwin Nathanson
I can attest that the cab ride was a highlight of the trip!! Those on the outbound leg got the added bonus of being able to ride on the front platform for most of the way. What a ride!!
Check out the gallery page for some photos from the day. There are many more to come. over the summer we will be adding new galleries and additional photos.
On the Form 19 page you will find copies of our newsletter. Keep your eyes open for a new section of the website with how to articles and other informative prose. The new section will be called "Best of". The first articles will appear shortly.
Have a Great Summer and we'll see you all at Dick Elwell's on September 5th!
