Passenger Car Department

               Here are two updates on the continuing restorations efforts of the coach department.  First,  Mark Hoffman is still working in the interior of the EL 556.  His focus now is sanding  and priming the wall areas between the windows.   This has been his project for the last few years and finally all his efforts are paying dividends.  We intend to have this car in operation for this years Thomas.   We need more volunteers to help Mark make it happen.   He will be working away this Memorial Day weekend on the coach.    Please consider helping!       The next subject is our old friend RI2612.   We are still working on her with major emphasis on the exterior.                   Work sessions will be scheduled for all three days of the up coming Memorial Day weekend .  Won't you join us?           Watch for an special announcement          Roger
