Depot Street

I will start off this entry with something off topic, the Depot Street Project by B&G.  There is steady progress on this major job, here rough grading completed from Barn 4 south to Central Avenue.  This indicates the majority of the underground work is complete for this segment.  If you come out for a visit to Union in the next few weeks be prepared to follow directions on signage, and be safe in the construction zones.

The JIG

We had recently developed a specialized jig for plowing out recesses in passenger car window frames, those to accept the lift hardware.  But every different window needed modifications or another jig.  Rich Witt has been working to develop and make a jig that is more or less universal, easily adapted to slight differences seen for each car.

Almost a Door

There was more work on the new door we are making for our station.  Victor Humphreys is sanding out some details.  If it were cold and rainy, we would have had this through the final sanding by now.  But as every summer approaches, outdoor work takes priority.

Glen Springs

We have finally resolved some of the details and needed materials for four new windows for the Glen Springs.  Lorne Tweed made some good progress on a total of 16 sides, tops, and bottoms.
