The following message is from James Patten from the NGDiscussion.net board.

"Day 3 of the WW&F Museum Track Laying weekend. One more day to go!

Crews spiked the remainder of the siding track, up to where the north switch will ultimately go. Ballasting started, from the north end down on the main line. 4 air-powered jitterbug tampers keep up with the ballast train.

History was made today with two separate trains adjacent, one on the siding and one on the main.

Incidentally, yesterday (Saturday) 71 people signed the volunteer log book.

If you have tomorrow off and live in the area, and are looking for something to do, we still have ONE MORE DAY left. We can use your help."

The passenger train waits on the new siding for #10 to pass.


The north crew prepares to unload flatcar 118.
