Fall Progress Update: Big Steps Forward on the Workshop & Clubhouse
As the weather cools and the holiday season approaches, progress around the railroad continues full steam ahead. This past Thursday, a dedicated crew headed out to the site to accomplish two major tasks: flipping Container #2 into its new orientation and installing a concrete footing between Containers #1 and #2. These steps are key milestones as we move toward building out our future workshop and clubhouse space.
A huge thank-you goes out to Gene, Calvin, Wes, Norm, and the team from ECI for their heavy lifting—literally. Their equipment and expertise made it possible to reposition the container safely and get everything set back in place.
With this phase complete, the updated plan is to orient all three containers with their doors facing forward. This will give us three solid back walls to work with as we create a unified interior space. We are currently working to secure a third container, which will allow us to start connecting the structures together and eventually install a roof over the entire footprint.
Looking ahead, our winter goals include sealing the gaps between the containers, cutting out the inner walls, and opening up the interior. Once that stage begins, we’ll be announcing official workshop and clubhouse workdays—so keep an eye out for those updates as we roll into the New Year.
Exciting things are happening, and we’re grateful for everyone who continues to jump in and help move the railroad forward!
