The very successful operating season 2001 of Jokioinen museum railway ended with the Star Light Train on Saturday evening 22 of September. A record long ten car passenger train was headed by the Loviis-Weisjärvi Railway number 6 and the traditional Star Light Train locomotive Jokioinen railway number 4.

The train lit by electric and oil lamps was full to the last seat.

AT the peak time there were more than 250 passenger on board the train. The original the plan was to run with eight passenger coaches but because of a high number of passengers both of the open summer coaches had to be added to the train. Because of the long train and short track length at the end stations a helper locomotive was attached at the end of the train to avoid running around the locomotive

The Star Light Train requires a large number of volunteer workers to guarantee safe running in the middle of night. There were total of 30 volunteers responsible of operations and security on that Saturday evening and also many more working in the cafe.
