Rich Witt was at work in the wood shop repairing a window from the CA&E 36. Several steps are needed in this process. Odd that the code string needed for this post identifies this image as "CIA" - hmmmm.
Also in the wood shop, Rich worked on a new project for the Frisco 1630 decapod, George Clark continued on the LSE 810, getting ready to install the new siding on the north face of the car, we noted more progress by Tim Peters on CRT 1797, Henry Vincent worked on shop facilities, and John Nelligan continued on the CCW 300.
I got no pics of this work on the B&O wagon top boxcar due to spending a few hours in the sun on the roof of the car. But we cleaned more of the old steel, and I was joined by Victor Humphreys and Simon Harrison. One of the side ladders from the No 1 end is now complete - cleaned, primed and finish painted.
And on adjacent Track 41 there was a six car elevated train! Jerry Saunders is leading a team to re-paint single car CTA 30. The pic shows Jerry removing old paint from the aluminum roof area of the carbody, joined by Fred Zimmerman up on the roof. Jeron Glander also spent an entire day helping on the project, and I believe they also labored on CTA 30 Tuesday this week.

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?
