WRPS Inc, trains doing their last run for the 2017\18 season on the 29th April.
It is with thanks and support to our passengers for this last year. It has been a pleasure to have you all aboard.
On Sunday (22nd) we had an excursion and on the way back on the first trip at Richmond Road there was a very near miss with a white ute towing a trailer at some speed, (a compulsory stop here) who, I believe, had to swerve to get around the locomotive. It was so very close. Even a passenger made some memorable comments.
Working bees every Saturday, 08.3ºam till mid afternoon. Bring your lunch.
New members most welcomed.
Photos below;- Derek’s camera, are of a birthday party which was on Saturday 14th. This party enjoyed their time on board and had the cake cutting on the platform.
