Thanks Mike! Looks really cold there! We were in the mid 50's in Richmond, VA today. No snow.
Victorian Christmas looks like a great time. I'll get there some day!
So #10 did well?

A couple of teaser shots. Brendan was there so am sure he has some good ones, as well as part of the FB team.

To Crew this Satirday:

Crew Meeting 9:am Sheepscot Station.  JML dispatcher, Jonathan St Mary Conductor.  Other positions and operating procedure to be confirmed at meeting.

EDIT we will plan on a 10:30 first departure to account for the advertised starting time disparity.

To all potential crew- if you read this and are planning on coming, please shoot me a PM, email, text or pigeon.  Unless you already know I know you're coming.  You know I know you know...

See ya
Jason

Anticipated work for Saturday December 20:

* Victorian Christmas!  Trains run 11 - 3.  We need people to help with parking, tours, gift shop, food, crowd control at Alna Center and at Sheepscot, train crew, and gophers in general.  Jason has been/is directing prep efforts during the week.  Typically people start showing up before 10.

Clean up will be Sunday or Monday.

There will be some switching and set up on Friday.  Crew meeting at 9:00am Saturday morning.  Friday and Saturday are forecasted to be the only nice days: clear with temps in the 30's.

Work done Friday, Dec. 19th -

* Victorian Christmas prep - (1) Much switching was done and all the cars for Saturday were made into the train.  (2) An extra train ran to AC with 5 cars.  Flatcar 118 was in the consist and had the side rails installed.  The crew put the spare benches from AC on the flatcar and then Brendan built a new set of steps for the side entrance to the car.  (3) Eric set up a track layout for his live steam trains on the east side of the shop building.  (4) Hand lanterns and markers were cleaned and filled for the Saturday evening trip. (5) Stacks of fresh baked goods were delivered to Sheepscot for Saturday's guests and crew.  (6) Bob Longo worked on final preparations for engine 10.  (7) Brendan marked off the parking lot and moved the museum's trailer out of the way.  (8) Bonfire and other supplies were taken to AC for starting the stove and bonfire on Saturday morning.  (9) Santa was seen setting up and decorating his Christmas trees.

* Car storage building - Zack, Fred and crew built more purlins in the east wall, filling in another 4 bays.

* Campus - A general clean up around track 7 made staging of rolling stock safer and easier.  Brendan cleaned up the area between the restroom building and garage.

Preliminary report for Victorian Christmas: We hauled more than 1300 people over the course of the day, the first train left at 10:30, the last train around 4:20.  The last train was a dusk-to-dark run for no purpose other than night running.  Many of the middle day trains were 5-car trains: 2 coaches, flatcar 118, car 103, and the caboose.  From 11 to about 1 the 5-car train was full.  We started cutting off cars around 1:30.

Linda reported over $1000 in donations, and good sales in the gift shop.  Nancy Weeks had a hotdog stand going, which looked like it had a good business going.  Eric Schade had a loop of track on the east side of the shop, outside, running his #9 model.  He had a good following.

Lots of happy faces, smiling kids.  Nobody got hurt that I know about.  No riots, either in the street or on the train.

Pictures, and more details will follow in the next day or so!

Only real report of injury I got was one fellow ripped his pants on a seat in the open car with a nail sticking up on a piece where two boards came together over a brace which had split and fallen apart.

It is just a small tear in the back pocket.  Glad to hear nobody else got caught on it.  Yet another great day at the ww&f.  Great job to all the crew that helped.

Anticipated work for Saturday December 27:

* Clean up from VC (if any)
* Loco 9
* North car barn

I suspect there will be few volunteers on hand because of the holidays.  Merry Christmas everyone!
