SHAKE DOWN CRUISE SET FOR OCTOBER 8
The Museum will operate E. J. Lavino No. 10 with one or more passenger carrying cars on Sunday, October 8. This is the day following OET's annual meeting and will be one of several training trips for our fellows who will be operating the equipment in the future.
Other members will be given instructions in operating our equipment in the near future. Remember when its your turn. For instruction that the more who learn the less burden will be placed on the rest of the members.
Persons who will make up the first crews are by necessity not all members of PSRMA. The reason for this being that some experienced people were needed to help the rest of us learn. The first crews who will operate on October 8 will be made up of the following persons: J. McGarry, Terry Durkin, Lee Adams, Pete Botten, Charlie Holcomb, David Willoughby, Jon Compton, Richard Pennick, Eric Sanders, Charles Kent, John Hathaway and George Geyer.
In the interest of safety, it is of importance that no persons, crew, or other wise be allowed to get on or off any car or locomotive while in motion. Please be sure to be careful and use your heads, enjoy yourselves too.
