Sorry, this will be a private invitation only event.   No tickets will sold.  However, the public is more than welcome to view the train from Oaks Parks
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.

While some runs were previously booked and are full, many rides will be available to the general public.   Trains can be viewed up close at Oaks
Park.   The SP&S 700 will have available cab tours open to the public on July 14th, 11am-4pm.  See below.  Trains can also be easily viewed
along the Springwater trail which follows the OPR track along the entire excursion route.
