Inter-provincial Operations

On Saturday, February 23, a group of six crew members from Prince Edward Island took control of the railway for an entire operating session (with a little help from Bob Kane and the railway president). The visiting crew did a great job! The entire schedule of 12 trains across the Avondale Subdivision was run (8 freight and 4 passenger). This was a repeat visit for some from PEI. Of course, after one visit to the Carleton Railway you are considered an expert! Thanks Scott, Tom, Derwin, Mark, Brian, and Greg! Mark is the crew for today's "Carleton-York Peddler" as he prepares to switch the Nortondale industries.

Scott serves as Avondale Hostler and Assistant Yardmaster as he works with Derwin (the yardmaster) to organize the very busy yard.


Brian is today's South Newbridge Yardmaster. The midpoint yard is a very busy spot and he managed the traffic very well.


Greg serves as engineer of the Newbridge Turn as he switches the Buckingham Quality Meats plant in Waterville.

Glad to hear the railroad is still in one piece.

Looks like they were enjoying themselves.

Mr. President, I am pleased with the restraint and good judgment you have show with this most recent operations report of your fine railroad.

To think of the many points you could have picked up and elaborated upon I am, dare I say, shocked with your abilities of self control.

Thank you.
