The long holiday weekend was a great success with large number of visitors beign drawn to Roundhouse Park. The crowds enjoyed the miniature train rides, the turntable rides, touring the cabs of #6213 and #4803 as well as visiting the interior of the Roundhouse and touring the caboose.
.
This weekend, we did a test run on providing simulator experiences to visitors which was also very successful. As can be seen in one of the photos, anyone of almost any age can be an engineer and operate the simulator.

Please note that beginning next weekend, our museum hours of operation will be from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday as we adjust our schedules to match our experiences to date in visitor traffic.
