Paul’s Blog – February 28, 2026

On Saturday, February 28, volunteers Dwight, Colin, Bruce, Kendall, Chris, Dannis, Jerod, Reid and Paul spread out and covered multiple projects. Bruce, Jerod and Reid jumped on the C&S Caboose and installed some roofing on the cupola. Chris and Dwight got busy working on an axle for the Gang Car. Kendall, Dannis and Paul worked to top off the hydraulic fluid on several pieces of equipment. These projects lasted up until lunchtime, when Colin ran out to grab pizza for everyone.

After lunch, Dwight and Chris kept at their project with the Gang Car axle, while the rest of the gang headed out to the track construction to install a couple sets of joint bars. It took a bit of searching to locate suitable joint bars, but Bruce and Reid delivered by finding bars that fit! Once the bolts were tightened on the track, things were looking pretty good. The gang tied up with a little discussion of upcoming projects and next weekend’s event with Front Range Passenger Rail.

I have included a few photos of today’s activities.
