Greeting to all, Happy 4th of July to all. Going to be a
warm, humid day. Parade does not start till noon, but
it might be too hot already, so will just watch fireworks
from my driveway tonite.
Sort of low worker turnout, cept for the train crew.
1. Train ridership, 130 people, good turnout, a big
family reunion in Judson and all decided to ride the train.
2. Grasseli Tower, Steve worked on the stairs on the
tower, has to get the platforms square for the stringers
to fit properely. Fred did some sanding on the north side.
3. GTW 75072 window frame got completed by Les.
Caboose is back in service, so it was hard to get time
working on it. I put away all the leftover cans of paint,
boxes of bolts in the newly painted closet. Got rid
of some paint pans and trash. Bob J found Les's ratchet
wrench set he had lost in the Metra car, right where
the seat came out for the GTW. Now if I could only find
my big ratchet wrench.
4. Cory B with the payloader moved the REA Express
trailer to the west building inside, so I could start working on it. Got a nice big grinder wire wheel at
Hoppes Hardward and went to work. Works quickly
and take it right down to metal. Followed up with the
palm sander. Primer went on easy and fast. The two
side doors are shot and will have to be taken off and
rebuilt. Some rust holes, but nothing serious to fix.
The REA emblem and side name are ceramic fired.
I need to take them off and hopefully a buff will bring
them back to full lustre again. What luck that all the
signs are still on the trailer.
5. Bob A had a speeder out of the shed and running.
6. One tank car left during the week, the TTX 85 foot
flat car is being used by C&I for rail work.
Thats it for this week, Happy 4th to All
Tom
