Hello Everyone.

We are busy at the museum, with lots happening.

The "BIG" news is that 836 is back on its truck, and a successful test run was made this past Saturday.  I had the opportunity to move the car around the shop yard a little, and it was nice to be back at the controller of 836.  We have some maintenance work and other minor things to address (sticking governor and brake stand form sitting too long).  It will be a welcome addition back to the operating fleet.  thanks again to John, Pat and Chris for all their hard work and dedication to this project.

Work is continuing on Rails to the Darkside and Pumpkin Patch.  We are almost complete, which is good since the Press night is this Tuesday, and the events start on Friday.  Anyone interested in joining the cast of Rails or helping out with operations or for Pumpkin Patch, we need all the help we can get. 

We had two good days at the Big E promoting the museum and the upcoming special events.  We had great coverage by our volunteers for the event, and I thank everyone who came and helped out. 

We are now full swing into our busy season.  Please consider taking some time and coming down and helping out. 

See you soon at the museum.
