Todays work session will center on reducing that pile of river bottom fill. Tom Reder is working on filling the buckets and carrying them over to the train. |
 |
 |
John Koontz and Lew Fowler are working to load this train with the filled buckets. A view of the dumping area, from the left of picture all the way to the guys near the edge of the woods. |
 |
 |
George Woodling and Joe Banzer take a break from dumping and raking soil to check out the work that was done on the right-a-way. The fill is getting pretty deep at this location. |
 |
 |
A view looking towards our new storage shed that will have five parallel tracks leading up to it. Bill Deptowicz was unloading the buckets from the train and dumping them into a wheelborrow and George would dump it with Joe raking it out. |
 |
 |
Joe is raking and George is giving "helpful" advice for grade. Meanwhile George Metts was working on a new fire ring retainer for us at the station using landscape bricks. |
 |
 |
Lew and John continue to fill buckets and move them alongside the track for when the train is brought back. I suggested to George to check if the cauldron hanging posts would clear the bricks so they set it up to check on clearances. |
 |
 |
The five yard tracks will narrow down to one track as it leaves the yard limits and heads for the main line that is why the fill is so narrow here. Looking back at what will be the start of the yard ladder. |
 |
 |
George and Joe are working on the right-a-way coming from the yard that will tie into the mainline track above Gulch. Things are taking shape and it's starting to look like a right-a-way. |
 |
 |
We moved alot of fill dirt today as we wanted to get it into place so it would settle and pack over the winter months, then we can lay track in the spring. Ron Trenhaile was working on the new switch control lever as you come into the station. |
