All, a few shots from this past weekend...beginning with Friday and Saturday. The main focus of the session was the replacement of approx 800 ft of original museum main line with larger 50 lb rail. This "new" iron came to the museum from the historic Claremont & Concord RR. A switch was also cut into the main, which will eventually access a new carshop, roundhouse and 45' turntable.
