 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  The Ortner Railroad which is the official name of the 14 inch scale train area that I help operate at the Western Minnesota Steam Thresher's reunion had a night run.  There were various areas on the grounds that ran at night to give people that are working at other areas a chance to see and do things.  It was very well received and they had around 300 riders.  They operated until around 11pm.  I took a ride but did not work it.  The ambiance was really nice with hanging kerosene lanterns around the loop, we used an LED flashlight as a headlight, that was my idea.  😊

There is a very short video located HERE if you would like to see a bit of how it went.
