FECRS Train Watch at the Stuart Bridge on April 25, 2013

On April 25, 2013 FECRS members hosted an afternoon-evening train watching session. Joining in on the fun were Tom and Kim Byrne, Jim and Sheri Kovalsky, Robert and Eileen Harris, SignalMan Bo, Brian Sherman, Frank Connell and cabooseMikey.
There were cameras whirring from high above and under the trains, too. What a great spot to enjoy those great trains.

Check out the OS reports right here:
