| Hello! Visitors at home tonight, so an abbreviated report on goings on at Hoosier Valley today. Early morning rain and gray skies most of the day, kept temps within reason. Fred, Steve and I continued our work plugging nail holes on the north side of Grasselli Tower. NKP boxcar 15797 has been mostly needlescaled and primed and now awaits cleanup of both car ends and then a finishing coat of paint. Mark Knebel and John DeGan and probably a few others, accomplished this work this past week. The windows have been installed in Interlake Steel GE 95 end cab diesel # 11 and the unit was busy today moving equipment around the museum. EL Alco diesel 310 was on the point for both the 11:00 run to English Lake and the 1:30 run to LaCrosse with a total of about 90 riders for the two runs. A crew loaded bundled ties into the 50' TTX (ex-PRR) flatcar in the morning and early afternoon and # 310 pulled the loaded flat back to the museum at the end of the day. Have a great week. Les | | |
