I reinstalled the rain awnings over the windows of the
GTW 75072. They were caulked and should not leak.
The wood frames need to be reevaluated. Need a better
system to hold the plexiglass in the frame.
I had an idea to utilize the free workers on saturdays.
Mark has completed priming of the N&W boxcar and final
coat of red should be applied soon. The area could be
used to TSP a couple of pieces of equipment. MDT reefer, PRR flat car. A water supply is near, access with
the manlift if easy. I also thought the manlift could be
rigged with pipes overhead and tarp put on to keep
the platform cool. It might make working on the lift
less tiring from the sun.
On the way back home, I stopped off at Wellsboro.
A CKIN engine was at the elevator running, so I went
over to the diamonds to check and 2 CSX engines running light crossed over from 1 to 2 and then back
west to pick up the empty grain train. Donny and crew
was at the elevator waiting. A new siding will go in at
Wellsboro for tank car unloading. CN/CSX is going to put in an interchange track to run in on to Kirk
yard where a intermodal facility is going to be built.
At Thomaston interchange with NS, complete trains with NS diesels to remain at Thomaston till the grain train
is loaded and returned, so a NS crew will just have to
show up and ready the train and leave. CKIN has
acquired 2 xEJ&E SD-9's that will be arriving shortly
at Wellsboro. They need some work, as they have been
retired for about a year. A rebuild of the wood bridge
will happen sometime soon. Tie replacement will start soon also.
The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea. Combine multiple calendars with Hotmail. Get busy.
