Frank Foti, Joe Banzer, Dave Foster, Rick Nagy and Ted Nyland fixing rail clips to the ties in the station. This was the weather and snow that greeted us when we arrived at the track. |
 |
 |
The snow is preventing us from working on the tracks today... and this is the middle of April. In the far distance to the left is where we put in the two new crossovers. |
 |
 |
The snow gets deeper as you get further back into the woods. There are the two crossovers I uncovered but we won't be ballasting the track around them today. |
 |
 |
The track looking out to the mainline from the crossovers. This is the view standing in the branchline right-a-way looking towards the crossovers. |
 |
 |
At the diamond at Gulch the snow is deeper and a hiker has preceeded me. Down in the gorge the water looks cold as it cascades over the rocks. |
 |
 |
The track and bridges under a blanket of snow. Dick Clark stacking the finished rails with clips attached, by the gravel pile. |
 |
 |
Ted Nyland and Joe Banzer setting ties in the jig as they start making a new switch. The lumber for the new car shed and you notice how little snow there is out in the open. |
 |
 |
The stack of ties is growing but we will need alot of them for the Branchline rework. Rick, George Davidson and Edith Hacker with Frank showing me how many hours he has sat at the machine or that he still has all his fingers. |
 |
 |
Dave sets in the jig the clips that George has placed the nails in and Frank triggers the machine to press them in the ties. A study of concentration as Frank loads a tie in the press. |
