Lawrence's blue jacket tells us that fall is in the air as we gather for our first session in October of this year. The blue jacket on the diesel locomotive tells us that Malcolm must be running 302 out of Ralph Yard. This first grouping of images was sent courtesy of Malcolm. His videos from the session can be found at: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNUy3dTcrANxLXQCwvOJipVuajwrY7ZB_YSThS1zyNeAd4GwsSVssQbxCNslYumxA?key=TkppTVE2dFg2a3JBdjYtTlczQXFNWVJRVEU1bWJn
Lawrence also has his blue road switcher ready to take on a train in Firgrove.
Looks like Malcolm's train has completed its work at Bell and is in the hole on the new extended siding at Watkins. That's me...railfanning another train in the distance.
Steve has Passenger #2 in Spruce.
Garry's CN Geep works the east end of Nelson Yard.
I spot Chris's CP switcher with 301 in Spruce.
