December is a tricky month to have op sessions, as many operators find themselves pulled in non railroad directions with the upcoming holidays and all the associated tasks that come along.
During the Mid Atlantic RPM, I spoke with a few folks that are in the Annapolis/Baltimore area and we ultimately arranged for them to come down and operate on the Richmond Terminal, as well as a few other local railroads during the standard 2nd Sunday timeslot.
Based on the fact that the last few sessions filled up quickly, I thought that only being able to offer 3 or 4 slots to the crew wasn't fair, so December had 2 sessions - one on Saturday the 6th, and one on Sunday the 14th.
Both sessions ended up a bit light on operators after cancellations, but the railroad got put through its paces on both days. Feedback from new operators, as well as the old hands, were positive.
As the Saturday session was lightly attended, the Superintendent had to work the yard, so pictures were limited.
