There was much activity in the Car Department this weekend. In addition
to the regular work on the cars (NSL 749; PCC car; Baldy; wood "L"
trailer), there was work on some more cars for the upcoming Trolley
Parade. Yes, if you can, you should come out for the Fourth of July
annual Trolley Parade. The NSL 229 and 251 made their way's over to the
pit for some simple inspection. Again, these rare cars are just getting
a check before the trolley parade.
The
S105's window's are ready to go in. Work on this engine will be easier
now, as the diesel department has graciously let enough space in barn 2
for this engine to be inside to have the work done on it. Thank you.
Another
major event that took place was the shuffling of barns 6 and 7. A lot
of rare equipment made it's way to the light of day to be switched to
another track. You will have to come out and see the new line up in the
barns. It should make somethings more efficient to run.
Respectfully submitted,
Joel Ahrendt
