The clinics, vendor room, and contest room open later today. Already I ran into Brent from Sierra West last night and hung out with John Siekirk during the "steam" excursion. Anyone else out there already here at the convention stop by the contest room and say "hello".

Here are a few more photos of the train excursion yesterday. It was a dreary drizzly day but it was still a fun time riding an old passenger coach and enjoying the North Shore scenery along Lake Superior. I was very surprised how much the scenery reminded me of the Pacific Northwest. Maybe I should get out more often.

There were quite a few rail fans along the route. The track parallels one of the highways as well as the scenic route along the sores of Lake Superior.

Soo Line 2500 replaced the out-of-service streamer that was to pull the period consist. Any locomotive older than me is "vintage" in my book  ;D

Good morning from the EXPO - you guys better do the planes, trains, and automobiles think and hurry up and get hear.  I went and checked and Jaime already has most of the vendor room cleared out.  ;) 


The train ride was fun I got to visit Superior - the town I picked for the name of the Superior & Seattle Railroad.
