Hello there, I thought I would do a catch up first post. I will try to
post a summary of the work done in the Electric Car Department each
week. Now this is not going to be a full list of everything that was
worked on, but only what I've been able to find out, or worked on
personally. So to start with, I'll catch you up to full series (or up
to speed).
CNS&M
714 - Our suffering North Shore Car has received it's inspection and
will be ready to run as soon as we get the wire and put the grid back
on. We are hoping that the wire will be in for this weekend. If not,
then we will pull that car out and put 160 in to get it inspected.
There are only 3 weekends before operations start, and we need to have
something able to run.
Sand Springs 68 has had some time working on a new front window for the car.
The woodshop has also been working on a new door and windows for the CTA S105 locomotive.
The
Michigan Electric car 18 has had new roof car lines made, as well as
work on the headlight, and the Charles City engine 300 has had
continued woodwork done on it.
CNS&M 749 has had continued interior painting done. The inside will be done shortly, the vestibules are next on the list.
CA&E
431 has had the end platform heater boxes painted and metal repaired.
The elements should be installed this upcoming weekend.
I am
sure there are going to be errors or items missed, but I'll continue to
post all that I know that has been happening. Any item that people
would like to see in here could always be sent to me via the IRM list
on yahoo.
Respectively Submitted,
Joel Ahrendt

I was not around at the time. General discussion suggests that it was "pretty marginal" in a number of areas. Nigel

No, it will not be necessary to hold any of the work waiting for the plow to be turned, end for end. Weather will be the major factor, but there will [...]
