On August 23rd, Society members Rick Burns and Bob Martin added new vinyl numbers and pinstriping to the firemans' side of the cab. On the 27th, Bob fired up #43 and was at the throttle. Society Vice President, Marty Visciano was the conductor and President Caryl Youngers was the Safety Crew on the ground. For 15 minutes, #43 ran up and down our 60 foot siding.
