Work Session Report – Wednesday, June 16 2010

Despite a rainy day, a crew of 3 worked at the Museum site today.? John finished cleaning out the cab of the Plymouth, and it looks pretty good.? Should be ready for a coat of paint on Friday.? Steve?worked on clearing weeds from some other?track that is on?our leased property.? We’ll need to store our boxcars there when they arrive as we don’t have a connection to the shop off the west leg of the wye yet.? Of course, there is a chance we’ll have to move the boxcars by road, in which case, we’ll put them right onto?track 1 & 2 of the shop and move them inside.

Work is progressing slowly, but we are getting things done. Our next work session takes place this weekend.? A crew will be out there at 9am Friday, working on the track construction outside, extending track 1 to allow us to operate the motorcars.? Track 2 is also going to be set up, having the gauge rail spiked down so crews can finish the rest later on in the week.? Saturday will be much the same, track work, and some painting/repairs on the Plymouth to get it ready for display at the open house on the July long weekend.? Likely not anything happening on Sunday, but there will be?something going on out there Monday for the morning. ?Lots of things happening out there, and we have work for any skill level.? If you want to get involved, just drop us a line, or show up at one of our work sessions.
