A cool, breezy but sunny fall afternoon greeted 14 members and 5 guests at the Veterans Park in Crofton for the 4th annual Chapter Picnic. CSX cooperated with 3 intermodals and 2 regular freights during the afternoon. Wally Watts brought his German steam engines for everyone’s enjoyment between trains. Steve Miller had his computer set-up to keep track of trains and Chuck Hinrichs provided the soft drinks and chips. The Easterlys were on hand with their new home – a travel trailer – and were headed to Missouri after the picnic. The Country Cupboard supplied the usual great sandwiches for those that didn’t bring lunch. All in all a pretty good afternoon with a good chance to mix with the members in a perfectly relaxed atmosphere. (Story and photos by Chuck Hinrichs)
