Saturday, May 16. 2009URTX 26640 Update May 13, 2009Much of the Freight Department efforts focused on inspecting the various cars scheduled to be operated in freight demonstration service later in the year, and the weather did not cooperate much for more outdoor work on this project.  Removed Ladder But here is Victor Humphreys working to needle chip old paint and corruption from the car side ladder, previously removed to allow siding work repairs. Saturday, May 16. 2009Annual Inspections Chicago Surface Lines 3142 You may have already seen more on this on other websites, but not to be outdone, here is an entry from us. Stan Wdowikowski works on the annual inspection and others pitched in throughout the day including Project Manager Frank Sirinek and Randy Hicks. Each service car must pass a fairly thorough inspection and checklist before it enters service each year. This only makes sense from a safety standpoint as well as maintaining the car and catching problems before they become major items. Saturday, May 16. 2009Milwaukee Streetcar 972 Update May 13, 2009 Side Gets Finish Paint Pete Galayda is applying the second coat of orange to the south side of this car. A BIG improvement and visible progress!  North Side Meanwhile on the north side, Gerry Dettloff works on the treadle door wells while John Faulhaber starts applying orange to the letterboard. |

7009 number boards look good. Is there a way to turn a locomotive around at IRM? In case you ever had a mind to connect 7009 and 6847?
