Making the joint |
| Description: |
The brakeman connects the air line from the engine to the train. Back in the day, this might have involved steam lines as well, though not on this car, which was always electric heat. The cars on the other end are ex Jersey Central, and steam lines were definitely part of their past. |

| Description: |
The train we took on our lunch trip originated in Springale at 0800, with a train full of people coming down to Van Buren to spend the mid day at the many antique shops and restaurants. The lunch trip from Van Buren to Winslow is a way to increase equipment utilization and revenue-and its a fun ride!! |
