Large Scale Central

Bluestone Southern 1-2 Oct 2022 OPS

The 1st and 2nd of Oct is the first of 2 operation session for October…
We operate from noon till 5ish both Saturday and Sunday…
If planning to attend, would appreciate a RSVP, but it’s not required…

I am really hoping to make one soon, but have a previous engagement this time. Look forward to picture and videos, from Matt and others!

I am hoping to make the October 23 session…

I’ll be there! I know, I know, your shocked. hahaha!

Was a fantastic weekend… Had a dozen or more on both days…
Weather was perfect, 70-75 each day, slight breeze…
I quit counting trains or freight weights a few years ago…
The whole idea is to operate trains and socialize with folks…
Pictures will follow as I can get setup…

Messing with TMark… I asked Matt to back the coal train up into Freeman Spur
to see the reaction… When TMark turned around, there went the hands up in the
air with that ““what the heck”” facial expression…
