and the Springwater Trail. The SP&S 700 will not be operating or on display on this day to allow the entire PRPA crew, volunteers, membership
and their families to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Speeders will be operating and the OPR will have four or five of its historic diesel engines
operating from 12pm-4pm, with one engine pulling each run. The OPR 5100, GE 70 tonner will likely also be operating on this day although its
not on the current schedule.
