Our leader Rich was also one of the best down to earth guys to meet. I hope you all get the chance that I did. The whole crew was class!

 It even makes coming here to the forum, a bigger honor for me now. Best I can do with mere words. It's too easy on line to make yourself seem a better person (me!). Doing it under pressure, entertaining thousands, sharing wealth of knowledge and talent, and retaining a sense of humor and humbleness all the while is...............beyond??above?? shear love of trains?? you tell me.

Joe:

 

I did walk up to the concession car when the train stopped in Hornell for sandwich loading.  Rich was in the concession car when I went up there, and chatted briefly with him.  Based on your photos, your car was right in front of our dome.   

 

Outside of that one walk, my butt was firmly planted in my seat for most of the trip, including the wye move.  While I wouldn't have minded going to the Corning glass museum, when the choice comes down to enjoying the wye move, and chatting with the other diehards in the dome, well, the train wins out.

 

You may have seen this guy too.  My son had an absolutely wonderful time on this trip.

Here is the shot I took at Letchworth State Park on the outbound trip.  My i-phone died on the return trip, so I couldn't get a shot north, which was far more scenic.
