11th Choo Chew SundayMarch 30, 2008About 200 people braved rather brisk weather to enjoy the 11th Choo Chew Sunday held at the Bitter Creek Western Railroad (BCWRR). Many thanks to Karl and all the fine railroaders at the BCWRR for supporting this event!  "Where is everyone!?" [Photo by Ken Kelley]      Don and Will handled the store operation all day.  The Santa Maria-style tri-tip BBQ is always a hit!  This air-driven, computer-controlled calliope provided some fun music in the air.  Mike engineers his Union Pacific No. 1943.  Dale brings the Southern Pacific X-1 to a grade crossing.  Visitors enjoyed Phil's tours of the turntable and steaming bay area.
