HELP NEEDED ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!

On Facebook, we're currently engaged in a friendly rivalry with Mt. Reiner Scenic Railroad over the Superbowl. On Saturday, 2/7, it would be appreciated if volunteers came wearing Patriots gear, or at least something in red, white, and blue. We'll be filming our "Pats Train" for a posting later that night or first thing Sunday morning.

Behind all this silliness is the intent to raise awareness of both of our railroads. So far, this rivalry has garnered a good deal of regional interest.

No, I just goofed. Truth is, of course, we love our friends at MRSR.

Work done on Saturday Feb 7:

* Steam & Sleighs - not sold out, but pretty full.  ML&M Loco 11 pulled the train, running into occasional trouble with snow.  Nick A is on his way to becoming steam engineer.
* Loco 11 - Earle did some further assembly on a piece of the linkage between johnson bar and eccentric/valve gear.
