From Kevin Frick 1/24/09

We were able to replace rthe grates in the 0-6-0 on Saturday. Stephen harrison, Randy Ridgley, Bob Stevens and I worked on this project. We also had some track work done by Randy, Bob And Stephen over the past few weeks, they have removed ties that were marked, hand dug the mud from beneathe them, placed new stone in the excavation and replaced the tie with the number on the rail. We will very soon be needing the demonstration from the manufacturer of the pnuematic equipment Giles talked about. I hope to get the hose removed from the skid steer the next time I am at the property. randy has to drain the fuel from the fuel tank so it can be removed to acces the damaged hose. end of report.

There will be a work session at Hallsboro Yard on Saturday November 21st. All the new ties are in place and we will be using the new pneumatic spiker to get switchs one and two back into operation. Any help would be appreciated and any newcomers welcome.

Track crew worked this past weekend at Hallsboro Yard using the new hydraulic spiker. Huge increase in productivity. Switch 1 is now repaired with new ties and spikes

We just spiked down two sections last week. Previously we used a spike maul which cost me one shoulder which required surgery. This time we used an IR 90# jack hammer. So much easier!

We had some major damage from the snowstorm. The roof over the Dinwiddie County, the wooden RF&P caboose and the HM-6 collapsed. Thankfully, it looks like the cars sustained minimal damage.
