I uploaded some video clips from the RGS Charter. Here's a link:

I had two thoughts regarding last weeks charter. First, it's rather amazing that the entire consist is purely possible from volunteers. Volunteers raised the money for 455/463. However the rest of the consist including 315 was done by volunteer labor and fundraising. We can nit pick anything to death but look at the consist. I'd say rather amazing what volunteers have done. I can name quite a few folks such as Don Atkinson who made caboose 400 look great. Don Bayer who rebuilt box 3537 this year. Hard to tell there's seating inside! Along with all the other folks who have worked super hard this year in particular to make this happen.
The other thought is Michael Allen did a superb job with setting photo stops and coordinating everything. If you've been thinking of attending a Friend's photo freight, do it next time! You will easily be able to get top quality photos or video even if you're not an expert. As well, you'll have a great time. A BIG thank you to Michael!
