NYC Dover Strait Update July 30, 2008

We were asked to provide some assistance, so here are two Kirk Warner photos of work being done on the Dover Strait. We began serious work to further complete the exterior of this car which was repainted last season. In this case, Bob Hunter, Project Manager, Gene Mackowiak, Bill Leider, and yours truly pitched in to start the striping.

Painting the FIRST Stripe

Bob Kutella applies some of the custom mixed lettering enamel while Bill Leider looks on.

First Stripe, First Side

By late in the afternoon, with light fading, you can see the results in a new stripe below the belt rail.

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 [...]
