First public run day of 2022 is in the books
This past Saturday, April 30th marked the first time since we had a spring public run day since 2019. Thank you to all the visitors, club members, and volunteers who came out and made the day such a big hit. We gave nearly 700 rides over the course of 3 1/2 hours with three steam engines and two diesel locomotives throughout the afternoon. Here are a few pictures from the day and we look forward to seeing everyone at our next public train ride day on Saturday, May 21st from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Here is a quick series of videos of one of our locomotives hauling passengers this past weekend. The video is of a 2-8-4 Berkshire locomotive which is modeled after real the 757 Nickle Plate Railroad steam engine which is currently undergoing a cosmetic restoration project at The Mad River & Nickle Plate Railroad Museum.
