Not Everyone Is in Springfield...

Although many regular crew members have headed to the Big Train Show this weekend (and the rival ICR even cancelled its scheduled op session), the ever-reliable Carleton Railway faithfully continued to deliver freight to its valued customers this evening.  In the photo below, Bruce Bosence serves as both engineer and conductor of the westbound leg of the Newbridge Turn in Waterville, where work consisted of moving a number of "off spot" freight cars (including a loaded stock car) to their intended destinations at the BQM plant.  During the last op session, the Newbridge Turn only got as far as Pembroke before the session ended; during this evening's "mini op session," the train completed its run.  Yard switching was also carried out at both South Newbridge and Avondale, readying the railway for the next scheduled op session on Friday evening, Feb. 22.
