Look at the video. At the end of double track, there's a worker, giving me a signal to proceed. Signal Department was working on other track.

Got lots of money, track materials and

tools? Influence with town officials?

If so, "Come on down"!

How did it feel riding it smooth or bumpy?

I have not been there in a number of years, but have been a member since 1961. Even took the Motorman traing class and did some operating 30 years. I really enjoyed the ride.

I haven't been there in far too many years, but when I watch this I can still smell the tidal marshes! :^) The line and the museum still look essentially the same - that's good.

Were you wrong-railing through the two-track section? Shouldn't you have been on the right-hand-side track, or is there one main-line track at that location?
