The vintage trains are finally all in the Bergen Point area for the annual gathering of vintage steam power.
This last visitor is from Kansas City Missouri.
The cold wind does not bother the guests who travelled east to be with family.
The three car set is filled to capacity with happy guests on board.
The long ride is nearly over as the train passes Maplewood New Jersey on a bright sunny afternoon. Will arrive at Bergen Point in time for the Christmas Eve festivities. Many thanks to PGW president Frank Toptrain with smooth operations. Pristine planning to have all those trains negotiate the complex terminal area. And maintaining regular commuter service for that busy area. He makes it look easy with decades of experience.

Union Pacific workers on hand for recovery work. They have many hours ahead lifting derailed cars back on track. Location is at Blue Springs Missouri near a set of sharp curves with speed restrictions.
Will be a day before that section of track is repaired. Detours will be in effect during the repairs.

Western Maryland steam engine 763 returns home from Bergen Point New Jersey.
Emerging from a tunnel near Cumberland Maryland.
Today she is operating at full speed ahead thru a very scenic section of track in a section called the Narrows. Her peak performance is due to the excellent work the Frankford Roundhouse crew did for her recently.
