Hello all, I am back from vacation and can report on some of the stuff that has been happening.
CSL
3142 has had it's inspection done, and work has been done on the
brakes. They seem to work much better now. There is still some
discussion going on about the line switch, so that will have to be
resolved fairly quickly.
CNS&M 749 has had more painting
done on the inside, as well as all of the interior decals. This car
gets closer and closer to being done.
CSL 105 has had the windows glazed and worked on. Windows have also been worked on for the CTA trailer.
Door
work for the PCC car that's in barn 4 is ongoing, but is getting close
to being done. The channels for holding the weatherstrip is the current
part being put onto the doors.
Since I have reported last, the
operating season has begun and CNS&M 714 has been (after a few
little kinks) running pretty good. The cars look good with the cleaning
that has been done.
If there are any other things I've forgotten
(which is probably a lot since I haven't been out for two weekends
before this last one), just put them in the comments. So, that means if
there's comments on this, you might want to read it.
Respectfully 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 [...]

The CGW X-38 plow is really coming to life. Bob Kutella and Vic and crew need to be very proud of your collective efforts. I am very appreciative of [...]

Thanks for the update! I still don't understand why Commonwealth #5 was removed from service. Do you know why?
