Dick Clark and George Woodling load bricks from behind the tool shed in the gondola. Dick and George with brick in hand..Don't throw that!... and Clayton Davidson stand by the loaded gon. |
 |
 |
George still wants to throw that brick....I wonder at who? Dick making the sign of peace. George and Clayton waiting for the train to come around on the Branch Line to unload. |
 |
 |
Here comes Dick with the work train having just passed Filmor and approaching Summit Jct. Now we get to unload the bricks to the adjacent pile of bricks. They will be used to make a brick paved walk. |
 |
 |
Clayton helping to unload the bricks along with Dick and George. Edith Hacker and Bill Deptowicz loaded the train with buckets of ballast stone and it was dumped on the siding at Bruce. |
 |
 |
The siding at Bruce with the ballast spread over it needing to be tamped and swept off. We had eight workers today which made the workload a little easier than the norm. |
 |
 |
The siding was all leveled and ballasted before our work break. George leveling out the dirt at one end for the two 16 inch square beams which will be used as a footpath bridge. |
 |
 |
A meeting of the minds and was decided that we are done with the trackwork at Bruce for now. Judson Elliott trying to figure out how the diamond crossing will be formed later as Edith watches. |
 |
 |
Clayton, Joe Panzer and George help load up the work train. George, Frank Foti and Dick keep putting more on the train. |
 |
 |
The wooden stakes in the ground are for the signals. The one by George is for the controller stand and one behind Dick is for the signal lights. Pick up the trash and we're ready to go. |
 |
 |
Clayton is probably wondering if that wheelborrow is going to stay up there. We moved our track laying equipment over to Gillette for a siding. George, Dick and Dave Schweitzer work on the ballast. |
 |
 |
Second shift!..Frank Foti and Bill Bodemer work at fastening down the aluminum rail as we placed the ballast right up behind them which we could do faster and take a break. |
 |
 |
We are doing this section of track as a test bed for copper treated ties with the aluminum rail to see if any reaction develops. I don't think we worked George hard enough, he doesn't look that tired. |
 |
 |
From all the rain we had the mushrooms just poked up through the leaves. Mother nature at her best to create a drippy looking fungi. |
