Thank You, Jeff, Phil & Karrell, Brad, Patti, Karl, Mary, Dennis and all the rest of the team for a GREAT Weekend!!!
As usual, all youse guys were exemplary hosts and hostesses - especially the commissary crew, who added at least five pounds to my already over-sized beer belly. (I used to think there was nothing funnier looking than a skinny old geezer with a big belly - and now I am one! Serves me right ... ) Compliments also for the excellent (re-)training session on Friday and the very useful rule book which you provided.
Thanks also for the flattery of posting several of my photos on your PCRR blog site. I can hardly wait for the proposed wye to be installed, which will allow head-on photos to be taken of a double-header crossing the bridge and climbing the s-curve at the southwest part of the line. A couple of "going away" shots of the second double-header at this location are attached, and one of the third double-header approaching the airport crossing (with a passenger conductor playing brakeman[?]). There sure are a lot of scenic locations packed into a line only about two miles long!
Congratulations to all for a job well done!!

p.s. Do you call your 2-6-2 "The FRANKENporter" cause she wears a green boiler jacket?
