This past Saturday's work session was most productive in spite of our less than usual turnout, due in large part to conflicting events. Thanks to those who were able to make it. Details as always in the photo captions.

YES , it was hot and humid with almost no breeze off the bay on Saturday’s “unofficial” work session. We quote “unofficial” as we called off our official volunteer session due to the weather. Somehow, we still had a small group show up and quite a bit was accomplished.

The Oyster Bay Railroad Museum holds work sessions every Saturday...and any other day as needed!

Our diesel locomotive "Col Roosevelt" has been under the weather as late, suffering from some fuel supply and other issues. Today John came in from New Jersey to address the issues, mostly in the pouring rain. Throughout the day, Javier, Carlo and Steve were there to lend a hand as needed.

End of the day, the sun finally came out. GOOD NEWS...the problems have been diagnosed and are being addressed. Hopefully we'll have her running again before the end of the season!🤞

This past Saturday was quite humid. Due to a birthday party was coming in at 10am we opened all of the equipment when we arrived at 9. The party went off very well.
As is the norm for us, numerous projects continued for our volunteers.
