Passenger Department Views - March 23, 2011

Every once in a while I will try to share some images of the current work, as they are sent to me from our reporters on site at Union.

The Family Plan

Emie, Aden, and Eric Olesen (apologies if I have butchered the names, gotten secondhand by me) were on site and pitching in on the ATSF 2544 combine. Here they are cleaning windows and walls. This car has been out of service for repairs for over half a dozen years. It is a Pullman product from 1927.

Seating Section

In the seating section, a lot of the walls and interior have been re-painted and we see rebuilt and restored seat frames, work courtesy of Shelly Vanderschagen, and frames installed by Wayne Baksic.

Those temporary walls could be constructed in a way that allows their reuse after the phase is done to close off the new phases.
