Old truck road is overgrown and will be restored for use during big events

 

Final discussion about clearing the road

 

Off to work...

 

Whole the road clearing crew did their thing, the tie crew got to work doing theirs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wimbley takes a couple of visitors for a ride as UP blasts by.

 

 

 

Your humble photographer... and hammer swinger.

 

Moving the work train to the next spot

 

 

 

More ties going in

 

New pilot beams for #3

 

 

 

The last of the new ties for this weekend.

After this, the Loop Restorations Project will be largely complete.

 

 

 

The new road is roughed out... and the mud made this a laborious project.

 

 

 

 

Attempting to move C&S #400

 

We failed. 400 is apparently very happy where she sits and has decided to stay a little longer.

Ddiscussions will be on-going with her. We're confident we'll eventually convince her to come quietly.

 

Melting metal

 

The Car Shop Lead track has new fill.

We're not done yet, but the day is quickly approaching when we put this track back in service.

 

RR&G #22 out on The Loop.

 

 

 

Air horns and diesel fumes... a perfect ending to the weekend.
