Operations Night, July 26, 2008

After the hiatus we had from operations beginning about September 2007 on, about five open houses in November, December, January, March, and June, and upgrading ProTrak, re-programming, testing, reprogramming, more testing,  and work, we were ready once again to launch operations.  So here are a few photos of Saturday, July 26th, 2008.  Trainmaster Mike was kind enough to furnish a nice Texas BBQ spread for dinner, so we all arrived around 4:00 to chow down, then get to work.
