(photo courtesy of Peter Vanvliet)The yard was a bit empty. This happened for two reasons. One, we were a bit short of freight cars for this show, and, two, because the layout worked flawlessly we ran four trains (two per mainline). Because of this action, there were always lots of people looking on.
