On Saturday, August 2, volunteers Dwight, Colin, Chris, Reid, Bryan, Dannis, Abel, David and Paul tackled a large list of projects to get things ready for our first Railfan Day next weekend. The crew worked on some track projects, cleaning out crossings, cleaning and lubricating track switches, power washing some equipment, mowing and clearing weeds from the site, starting and checking two of our GP7s and then setting them up for multiple unit operation, and attaching flag holders to Engine 103. We then had to test the GP7 operation and move some equipment around. This work kept everyone moving!

For all the work that did get done today, there were a few items on our list that we just ran out of time and couldn’t get completed. Hopefully nobody notices next week during the event. For information regarding our Railfan event on Saturday 8/9, click here.
