Work Session - 5/04/2011


Rick Nagy and Frank Foti tamp the added ballast to the Branch Line above High Creek. Frank prying the track out of the ballast to level the rails, then we will add more ballast and tamp it.
A view looking towards Horrendous at the newly leveled track. Frank checking out the Park Engine because we were having problems with the hydraulic fluid valve, which made the engine not run up at speed.
Tom Reder tamping the ballast as Dick levels the No. 2 approach track to the Stanek Car Barn lift, while Frank and Rick look on. Dick checking to make sure the track is level at the end for the lift.
Dave Foster worked on the limit for the roll-up door to gain extra height to use the 3rd level for storage of cars. Frank looking over tracks #4 and #5 as they were straightened, raised and leveled for the approach to the lift.
Guys taking a well-deserved break from working in the sun and another task is completed. Tracks 1-5 all aligned and raised and tamped, ready for use.
Time to load the ballast train as Dick and Frank work to fill the buckets with limestone ballast. We're down at the Justin Tyme Bridge to raise and level the track for the approach.
A view looking towards the bridge with the track leveled and re-ballasted. Frank's checking the level as Dick sites along the rail for any dips in the track as it comes off the bridge.
Dick sites along the rail as Frank lifts the track with Rick watching. Frank lifting the rail and checking to make sure it's level before we add ballast and tamp it.
Pam Znidar, Mike Minello and Emily Kutscher worked to relocate the bricks in a more orderly fashion behind the station. Mike Minello, Mike Harkelroad, Jerry Bell and Pam contiue moving the paving bricks to the opposite end of the station.
The track crew of Dick, Rick and Frank are acting as the peanut gallery watching the others work as Emily takes a break from moving bricks. The crew continues moving the bricks and Pam is posing for the photographer.
