On August 4th 2002 members of Castledare Miniature Railway arrived at the grounds for our regular monthly
run day, only this month's was to be a special day.
For on this day we were to haul our 1 millionth passenger...
The weather wasn't really on our side at all, though the was still enough passengers to keep us busy for most of
the day.....
The lucky passenger was Sue-Anne Rea of Victoria Park, a mother two boys - one of which is autistic. she took home with
her that day, a pass entitling her to a multi rider ticket per month for tweleve months, along with a few souveniers.
A few photo's of the days event are below.
Our thanks to those who have allowed there use.
