Checked out of the hotel around 7am and walked the mile to the linden NJT station. Got to nyp around 8:20am due to delays from a broken down train. Arrived at Princeton jct and I elected to skip the dinky run and railfaned instead. After returning to nyp on NJT we walked to grand Central for lunch and our metro north run. After the run the remaining members and I took the shuttle and the 1 train to nyp where misty kk penny all went to club Acela and I took NJT to the airport in a snow storm.

Everything went well today too. From the Keystone trip, the Princeton round trip, the NJT run to New York, and the Metro North trip up to North White Plains and back, we were pretty close to on time throughout.

16 people were involved today, but like Saturday never all at the same time. I am still working out the numbers, but I believe our peak was 15.

The Fest ended a little dramatically with snow showers as we came back through the northern suburbs into Manhattan. It IS a winter RailFest, and still this being the 16th consecutive winter Fest I have planned in January it did not pose us any problems. Thanks again to all who braved the cold weather today and rode the trains.

I left the group at Grand Central to take a train to New Haven. The train was leaving just as we arrived so I had to hustle. Lisa picked me up at West Haven station, arriving at the station just as the train did.
