Workday Recap for Saturday, March 18th
What an incredible day around the railroad during our March 18th workday. The day start out a little cold, ok just above freezing cold, as John, Robby, and Scott positioning track panels for container number four while Rick, Gene, and Norm did a little planning on the shop container project. Wes joined in on the fun with the container crew as they removed a switch from the mainline, which was the old red container switch near the main grade crossing. Norm and Gene removed the rest of the cross over switch from the mainline that was used to get to the middle of the steaming siding near the water tower. The crew then took the switches and rebuilt them before reinstalling them for the container number for track. The crew also ballasted the panels as the day ended.

Progress was made on Member Container 4 this past weekend
Progress on member container #4 continues to move along. This past Saturday John and Robby spent the day installing about 75’ of track for what John calls the “River side siding”. Bob C. also stopped by and picked up the club steamer so he can complete the installation of a new check valve. Norm also stopped by in search of the rail bender. We can call off the search parties as the benders have been found at an undisclosed location.

Progress made on container track project during our Saturday workday
The day started out a little cold but quickly warmed up as the Saturday work crew began arriving. The crew consisted of Norm, Gene, Robby, Rick, Thomas, David E., and Dave L. Most of the crew spent the first few hours collecting already built track panels from around the railroad that will be used for the container project along with doing some track repairs in the east loop. Dave L. hung another bracket for the second signal head which puts us another step closer to our first permanent set of signal heads. The track crew pulled out a switch from the steaming siding and reinstalled it for the container track.

Wet weekend still produced progress on container project
Weekend rain didn’t slow progress on container #4 project. John T. spent time preparing the roadbed for track panels to be placed in the coming weeks not only for the container but also a storage track to the right of the container. Eventually a storage track will exist on both sides of container #4 which will provide more places for our visiting trains to park and recharge electric locomotives after a day of playing.

The crew for container 4 is looking for help building track panels this coming Saturday, February 18th. The plan is to build 15 to 20 straight panels and prepare the pieces to build about 5 switches. For those considering coming this Saturday work will begin around 8:30 a.m. and will need one or two chop saws to cut nearly 400 ties for the panels being constructed. Other work around the railroad will also take place to prepare the railroad for our next club fun day in March.
