I don't know if Stewart got on, but here's the train departing Alna Center.
#6 was about out of water so we called it a day and headed on in, stopping for water before arriving at the depot. Bill said they had about 3" of water left in the tank when we arrived.
Monson #3 was out doing some switching before we arrived, making up tomorrow's consists, allowing this nice shot of the 3-way stub switch.
Getting in and out of the warm combine into the cold and wet played havoc on one's lens. Constant wiping of condensation was a must. Unless you wanted weird effects such as this when #6 ran around the train.
