HVRM Restoration 7-10-2010

A nice day at HVRM. Had a passing rain cloud, dropped
some water. Saw one terrific lightning bolt to the north
as I was leaving.
 
Train ridership was good today. Over 100 riders today.
A birthday party was held in the N&W boxcar for a group
of kids. Lots of visitors looking at the shop area.
 
1. REA Express trailer. Continued to grind and prime areas around the lower portion of the trailer. Ground off
the screw heads to take off the electrical connections.
Just rusted and unusable. Will post some pictures on
restoration site.
 
2. Grasseli tower, work continues on scraping and painting sides of the tower.
 
3. East shop had Cory B on the roof caulking seams
and tightening screws. Quit early as it got very warm.
Options are being looked into sealing the leaking seams
and screw holes.
 
4. Andy Hershman brought in some Alco parts from Pontiac IL from a parted out Alco diesel that caught
fire.
 
5. Normal depot and kitchen car activities. NTR.
 
Have a good week and drive safe.
