On Saturday, July 15, Dwight Maxey, Kendall Crouch, Bryan Tong, Colin Mellin and Paul Brown came out and jumped right into the work. The first item of work was reinstalling the repaired rear tire on our Case tractor. This tractor is our main weed mower and we have agood crop of those this year! Next, we fired up the MOW (Maintenance Of Way) Truck and grabbed a couple of ties to head out and replace one in our main running track. We also reset some rail braces in the same area. You can see in one of the photos the reason you need to come out to work at the Museum, as you never know what will roll by on the mainline right next door!
After a lunch break, we got busy mowing, pulling and cleaning up some of the weed growth around the shop yard. With all of the rain this year, and even after spraying to control them, the weeds are just about taking over! No pictures of this mundane but very important work are included.
Please mark your calendars for our next Train Ride event coming in a few weeks on Saturday August 12. It will just be a train ride by the Depot to highlight our trains.
