It was a lovely day. We hosted Wayne Duffett, our volunteer bridge program manager and inspector, Chris Snow, Wayne’s associate who donated his soil engineering services for the Trout Brook Bridge project, Chris’s wife, Wayne’s track associate Brian and his family, Dave Allan (our pile and moving contractor) and his wife Nancy. Loco crew Joe and Roger hosted a number of cab riders, Bill Reidy conducted well, and Dave B served as a presidential brakeman. After the Humason Brook inspection during the 10:30 trip, we took the 12:00 to ToM, then walked to Trout Brook Bridge. Bill covered Dave’s duties so Dave could join us and be all presidential like (he’s very good at it). We got back to ToM just in time to meet the 1:30 train. Weather was perfect, and good conversations all around.
The public response after two days of notice was tremendously encouraging as well. More please! Great day all around, great close to a great year.
