With the beautiful weather last Sunday (9/21) the Apple Jam was VERY well attended! The DC&W opened it's doors to the public and had a steady flow of visitors and admirers - including these three young people watching a Milwaukee Road "Golden Grain Train" pulling back onto the scenic route mainline! The layout performed flawlessly and many folks were impressed with all of the recent improvements! Many long trains were run, and great fun was had by all! Another one in the books!! ;-)
