| Post subject: | FRA Bridge Managment Plan |
Does anyone have a template for a FRA Bridge Management Plan? I have their publication, 240 CFR, parts 213 & 237. I think I understand the basics, but a template or example of a plan would be a wonderful thing... I suspect I don't need to re-invent the wheel. Randy |

The PUC track inspector for the state should be able to lead you to the right direction. I will send you his cell phone number. Robby |

Thanks Robby, New job, new rules, trying to learn fast... Horse drawn railroads are much different than FRA regulated railroads... Randy |

I am not sure if ATRRM will post any information from the presentations on their web site. I will follow up and check. In any case, regarding the FRA presentation on bridge management, I should be able to make that available to those who are interested. Mike Ramsey |

Consider me interested. I probably will not make another meeting until several things change. Robby |

The sadly no longer horse drawn railroad was the Society for the Preservation of Carter Railroad Resources (SPCRR, http://www.spcrr.org ) organization's railroad at Ardenwood Farm ( http://www.ebparks.org/parks/ardenwood ). We operated a horse drawn 3' narrow gauge railroad within the historic park. Due to cost and operational issues the railroad is now normally operated with a gas/mechanical locomotive, with visiting steam, normally on Labor Day weekend. I was the curator of the railroad museum, but also was City staff managing the Patterson House museum ( https://www.fremont.gov/293/The-Patters ... Historic-F ). I am now the director of the Nevada State Museum at Boulder City ( http://www.nevadasouthern.com/ ) Randy |

Mr Cooper, I mean Mr Hees, GET A HORSE!. GME When we were kids on the south side of Chicago, the street was our baseball field, our football field, where we played kick the can and other games. When a car had the nerve to slowly make its way across our field/playground and we had to get out of the way, it was sure that someone would yell....GET A HORSE! Thanks for the reminder GME. Les |
