Saturday, yesterday, we had a very nice volunteer turnout. We were so busy that we did not have time to take pictures of all 12 excited volunteers. We were, also, busy being interviewed and videoed by the Town of Oyster Bay for a future social media post. BUT, below you can see many of our accomplishments. Some of us did not leave until 10pm.

This weekend, a lot of our volunteers were in Pennsylvania chasing the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 and the Reading and Northern 2102 steam locomotives. Today, they all found their way to Steamtown National Historic Site where tens of thousands of people came to see two Big Boy locomotives in one place!

While at Steamtown, they ran into Noah from the Railroad Museum of Long Island. A good time was had by all!

In the railroad hobby, this weekend was all about the Union Pacific BIG BOY visiting the East Coast so almost EVERY volunteer was railfanning leaving a true skeleton crew at OBRM.
Not to worry though, we did have 3 volunteers from 9-12. After we opened at noon, we lost one to being a docent then had another show up around 12:30 to help take up the slack.
Gary put together a list of things that he wanted to accomplish and even though we had to pivot on one task, still had one heck of a day!
It felt GREAT to be able to cross so many tasks!

Today was...well...a day! It was hot, humid and we had less of a turnout than usual. But still, the amazing volunteers at the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum pushed through, worked together and achieved most of what we set out to do. From 8am until 8pm, a dozen people working on a half dozen projects. Awesome! Details in the photo captions.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our Historic Bus Tour of the Oyster Bay Branch! We loved spending the day exploring historic stations, sharing stories, and celebrating the rich railroad history of Long Island.

Special thanks to our tour guide, Dave Morrison, whose incredible knowledge and passion for railroad history brought each stop along the branch to life. From Mineola to Oyster Bay, it was a wonderful journey through the past. We hope everyone enjoyed their visit along the route including their time at the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum!

📸 If you attended the tour, we'd love to see your photos! Share them in the comments below.

As always, details are in the numerous photos captions!

🚂🇺🇸 The OBRM Speeder made its parade debut this Memorial Day weekend! 🇺🇸🚂

Despite the rainy weather, the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum was proud to participate in the Oyster Bay Memorial Day Parade with our Model MT-14 Track Speeder making its inaugural appearance!

A huge thank you goes out to Steve and the crew at Wonderland Tree Care for helping place the Speeder on the trailer, and to Dave Golon for expertly driving the unit in the parade. We had a wonderful time waving to spectators and sharing a little piece of railroad history with the community.

The Oyster Bay Railroad Museum Model MT-14 Track Speeder is a later model "section car" built by Fairmont Railway Motors in the mid 1980's for track inspection and maintenance. It has a 14 horsepower gasoline engine designed to carry two men and a trailer for their tools to remote areas of a railroad at track speed. It is equipped with pull-out handles so that workers can easily pick up and turn the unit around to travel in the opposite direction, or to remove it from the track for trains to pass by. While the specific history of our unit is unknown, it is typical of the types of track inspection vehicles most railroads utilized in the US, Canada and Mexico.

The OBRM Speeder is currently undergoing operational restoration and can be viewed at the museum Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4pm.
