On Saturday, July 29th, the Museum had volunteers Dwight Maxey, Colin Mellin, Bryan Tong, David Hunter and Paul Brown replacing a couple more ties in our main running track in the morning. During a previous inspection, this spot was marked for work, and it’s a good thing we did it, as the ties we pulled out were basically piles of sawdust! And, even though the ties we put in were used, the replacements were solid wood, and will help support the rails as we give visitors rides on the trains.

After a quick lunch break, Bryan went on weed patrol, mowing and pulling weeds along some of our tracks while Dwight, Colin, and Paul did some more work to our track speeders, to prepare them for possible use at a future event. We finished working a bit early, because the heat and humidity were rising as the day went on.

I have included pictures of the morning’s work on the track, because this is one of our most important chores, and we remember to take pictures!!
