Finally!… Matteo got to run trains with Papa Bill. The poor kid was nearly beside himself waiting for the railroad to get cleaned up, equipment to get
fixed up, batteries to charge, and everything else Papa Bill has been doing to reinvigorate the railroad this past week.
But, today; it was train-running day!

Fantastic day for a train ride. And a standing rib roast BBQ. And a railroad that’s lookin’ very good! We just about reached the capacity of the La Condesa. http://Friends-SMVRR.org/111217.html
