On Saturday, August 5, volunteers Dwight Maxey, Colin Mellin, Bryan Tong, Kendall Crouch, and Paul Brown got busy on several projects to get things ready for next week’s event. First, we had to get Engine 104 started, so we could use it to move Engine 103 and the Santa Fe caboose back, to make room to pull out a couple of our speeders. Next, we had to get the fuel system put back together on the Santa Fe speeder, and then juggle the all of the speeders around to get better access. The big orange Gang Car needed some attention too, so it can make some runs next week. We even had time to pick up some trash from our shop yard in between all the other tasks. There was enough trash to pretty much fill up a 30 yard open top container!

I have included a few pictures of today’s action so you can see what was done.

Remember next Saturday is our event, Train Rides at the Depot. Clear your calendar and come on down!
