Passenger Car Department

Here are some images we obtained yesterday afternoon, for a peek at some of the work in the Passenger Car Department - ongoing throughout the winter months.

Trucking

Two passenger car trucks have seen work to ready them for the upcoming arrival of the OLYMPUS in coming months.

PHOTO

These will be placed under the OLYMPUS and the OLYMPUS trucks placed under the SILVER PONY, with the assistance of large cranes and (cheering crowds?).  As I understand it, this is a 'temporary' arrangement to allow both cars to be placed on wheels and to be able to return the flat car used to ship the SILVER PONY.

Interiors

One of the Rock Island coaches used during the Thomas Event and occasionally on our other passenger trains is getting ceiling work and other interior finish improvements.

The Other End

I probably should have tried to make some digital image corrections on these last two, but you get the idea - a lot of effort expended and a huge improvement!

Other Passenger Department work continued in the Wood Shop.  See that BLOG ENTRY for more images and details.
