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.

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 [...]

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

Ah yes, I have made such Jibs myself. If it were me, I would add in each corner an angled piece from the base to the Jib to act as sway bracing. [...]
