Rick Nagy using the work train to move two sections of our steel bar stock multi-gauge track to the storage area. John Koontz was removing the screws that hold down the cushion seat on one of our rider cars. |
 |
 |
John removed the seat cushion from the car behind the GP38 also, so we could add weight at the oposite end of the car for better balance with one rider. Don Speidel and Dick Clark discuss a car that the brake shoe flipped and jammed the wheel from turning. |

I found this fungus at the base of a tree in the woods after all the rain we have had lately. The track crew put the old bumper block of concrete at the end of the new spur track we laid down last week at the end of the yard. |

Ken Vendlinger was doing grounds maintenance by cutting the grass and weed whipping. Edith Hacker was continuing the cleanup of debris in our drainage trenches. |
 |
 |
We had a section of track on a curve that elongated from the 95+ degrees of heat an popped the track out of the ballast and Rick Nagy unbolted the rail splice. Dick Clark cutting more off the end of the rail to let it expand in the joints. |
 |
 |
Rick working to align the ties intersecting at the switch. The rails are all rejoined back together and we just need to ballast and tamp it in place. |
 |
 |
The guys called for a break so we are heading back to the station to quench our thirst. After the station break the work train was loaded with ballast to finish the job. |
 |
 |
Rick, Mike Harkleroad and Lew watch as Frank Foti brushes of the excess ballast as Dick sweeps the rails clean. The reset and ballasted track is all finished and so is this task. |
