The third and final day of OTOL Big Apple RailFest is over. Despite one late scratch this morning, we still had a total of 14 people involved. Thirteen of us left Grand Central Terminal this morning. Piotr boarded our train at White Plains after taking a local up from Fordham. On the return trip from Wassaic, one remained on the train back to the city, while the other 13 detrained and headed for the Galleria for lunch. Now here is where we got quite fragmented. As far as I know, of the 13 who ate lunch in White Plains, four left on the 2:59 PM express train whose time was in my itinerary. Because it took us a little extra time to get down to the mall, and due to long lines for food at some places, things would have been too rushed had we all tried to return to New York City on that train. Two more took th 3:08 local back to Grand Central, and the other seven sat around and chatted for a while and then took the 3:59 express train to Grand Central. As always it was great spending the weekend with fellow railfans and both riding and talking about trains. it was mainly the same old gang but we did meet one new person today who we hope will join us at our future gatherings.
