On July 22nd, Paul Weyrich gathered a group of traction aficionados for a morning of riding, which was followed by a lunch honoring Joseph McCarthy, the general manager. It was his vision which created this new concept in community development thru the use of electric traction. It was sad to learn that a month later, Joe went to his eternal reward at the age of 48. Here are photos of the ride during which rain threatened between the sunshine.
