The brief NRHS meeting was held on board M-407.
The first charter train left at 2 PM and didn't return until nearly 3 after a lot of pharting around.

Prior to the meeting, Tuckahoe Tower was open for inspection.

While I was in the tower, two retired P-RSL men who had worked Tuckahoe Tower came in. They provided very interesting stories. West Jersey Chapter president Rich Magee had also worked in Tuckahoe Tower for the P-RSL.
After the first charter trip, M-407 was uncoupled from the train, and after some minor maintenance was performed, ran solo for the railfan charter, complete with photo runbys

and a photo op on the bridge over the former West Jersey & Seashore ROW.

It was quite an attraction, even drawing the State Police (two cars).

There was no altercation or hassle with the State Troopers.
