2012 Trolley Pageant

As has been the custom, IRM presents an Independence Day Celebration every year. Following is a sampling of photos from Don Burkett, who does some really fine work. I do not think these need much captioning, and are in no particular order, except for the Sand Springs 68 which I was operating. A total of 30 cars were in the parade.

This only represents a sample of some of the operating equipment, and you need to appreciate the amount of hard work by the Electric Car Department, led by Rod Turner, to plan, stage, and present this event. Three of the cars pictured had never operated at IRM until less than two weeks previous to the event, can you spot them?

I was not around at the time. General discussion suggests that it was "pretty marginal" in a number of areas. Nigel

No, it will not be necessary to hold any of the work waiting for the plow to be turned, end for end. Weather will be the major factor, but there will [...]
