On Saturday, May 10, volunteers Dwight, Chris, Bruce, Kendall and Paul did some planning and basic layout work for the new track we have started working on, so we know where to excavate and where the track will be on the grounds. After we completed that work, we did some adjustments to a guardrail in the existing track leading to the new rails.

After a quick lunch break, the crew did some work to see if a set of metal steps we have will work to replace the old wood steps leading into the gift shop. They seem like they will work well for at least this season, so we will do some safety work to these steps and gat them attached. We then headed back to the shop yard and did some more track adjustment and some excavation work before tying up for the day.

I have attached some photos of today’s work below.
