Featured are Ray Heaton's brand new IC mike and his venerable 31 yr old Raritan. Sunday morning of the all steam un-meet Feb '09' at the Buckingham Central RR. After almost seven days and nights of hard running,most equipment has been either stored or trailered by this time. These are views of some of the last runs of the un- meet. Fittingly, the Raritan being the oldest steamer running is being brought to the steaming bays by one of the youngest live steamers to attend, Andrew H. Engineers on the new mike are Bob H., Andrew's dad, myself, and the owner, Ray Heaton III.
That Mike sure makes all the right noises! It sounded great when he opened it up and the pops lifting was cool too. Even the Smurfman himself was on it toward the end! -H
