Friends of the Santa Maria Valley Railroad played a key role in a very successfull 2nd Annual Speeder Run on the SMVRR. Friends also contributed to the Speeder Day at Bitter Creek on Sunday.

Dennis and Patti (not pictured) took charge of the La Condesa tours for the day. That's Karl's speeder, by the way, which try as it might just could not pull the La Condesa.
Jonathan spent much of the day attending to the enginehouse and that end of the yard.
Many of the Friends are also Bitter Creek folks.
