My Family Portriat Experience

[ARandall70]

I really enjoyed my time at the event in Spencer. Met some new folks and saw many friends. The crowds that were there at the beginning of Tuesday morning fizzled out by late in the afternoon, and really seemed to never come back on Wednesday.

I managed to come up with a few photos from the event that I really liked:

Illinois Terminal 1072 sits around the turntable with some other colorful units:

These weren't accepted, but I liked them..

And a few others I haven't tried...

NS 8114 and NS 1616. The Norfolk Southern is my favorite heritage unit:

And the best part of the trip, to me, was seeing the parade of locomotives leaving town:
