Moving day! Ken Brooks, Wayne Boron, Dick Clark and Steve Smoley work to align the car with the bed of the truck as we prepare to start taking the equipment back to the track from our winter headquarters at Hose Master. Ken, Wayne, and Steve load another car into Ken's truck for the journey back to the track. |

The ballast sweeper car on the lift at the track after unloading it from the truck. When we went up to the station, we found that George Metts and Paul Zorko were mounting the new fire extinguishers in our buildings. |
 |
 |
At one of our meetings it was voted on to buy 6 new fire extinguishers to replace our aging ones we had. Ken reaches for one of the straddle riding cars to pull it off his truck as Frank and Dick watch. |
 |
 |
John Koontz watches as Ken gently tries to push the car on an upper storage track, but it won't clear the roof line. So for now we will put the car on the lower track 3 until we can move cars around. |
 |
 |
The ballast sweeper doesn't fit where we had hoped to put it because of the width. Dave Foster brought his transit so we could shoot the grade from the station down to the lower part of the Orchard Yard track to check out the drainage. |

 |
Dave, digging at the end of the station to find the sink drain as Ken watches. Meanwhile out on the track at the Park Access crossing, Steve Zaken was clearing the stones from the flangeway slot between the boards on the two crossings. |
 |
 |
Dave Hird who is on the switch maintenance committee was out checking the gauges and lubricating the switch points. Back at the station we were trenching, trying to find out where the sink drain pipe went off to as Paul and Bonnie watch Steve and Ken dig. |
 |
 |
Well we have a trench with no pipe in sight unless it's a lot deeper. By digging along the station we found it ran parallel with our new edition for a portion before it turned and ran straight out from the back of the station. |
 |
 |
Removing the paver stones that were placed behind the station to find the turning point of the pipe. There she be, white PVC pipe only about 6 inches below the surface at this point. |
 |
 |
Steve and Ken take a breather after finding the pipe on just on the other side of the track now that they knew the general location of the pipe run. Steve and Dave dig on this side of the track to find the pipe that runs into a French drain. |
