Track 31 Update - October 15-16, 2011

There was a lot going on this weekend so I will post a few pics and short report on the project to rebuild 31 Track and some work on the turnouts leading there, to start out the posts this week.

Spiking New Switch Ties

There was a large track crew on hand, here seen spiking in new switch ties at the first switch in Yard 3.

Replacing Switch Ties

The old ties were pulled out and new ones slid in under the rails.

Tamping

On Sunday a mechanized tamper ventured inside the dark confines of Barn 3 to make the first tamp on the new track and gravel. Adam Robillard was at the controls.

while 428's cab is still on the ground, there could be some premature painting and decals that could go on the outside of the cab
