It seemed like old times. Almost the whole group of operators was on hand. Could it be that they all sensed what was happening tonight or was it just coincidence?
Thanks to some hard work by members of the Sue Line Crew,
the first official units ran in the Third District (above).
David Colvin was at the throttle using the SPROG to power the
two Santa Fe units as then entered the third district for the first time.
After savoring the first run of units on the Third District,
David Colvin took the controls as the dispatcher for the evening.
The Call Board was full of engineers, so let's get going.
Jim Willis (above) took the controls in Alexandria as the
Yard Master for the session.
Richard Kamm (file photo above) was the Northpark Switcher

for this session and, like others before him, forgot to get a
shot of himself.Luckily, he supplied a file photo of himself.
