Monday, October 17. 2011Track 31 Update - October 15-16, 2011There 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. |

those 2 Milw cars would actually look good behind one of the Milw F7's or the E9's.
