What a glorious day at HVRM. Temps in the 70's, clear skys, brisk wind.
Overall turnout for the Easter trains numbered around 340 or so for 2 trains.
One train at 11:30am to English lake, then back to North Judson then to North
Judson park on IN10 for the egg hunt. Good time was had by everyone.
Same again at 1:30pm. The American Legion provided food to all the passengers
and did quite well.
Cory, Dave, Richard worked on the CAT back hoe tractor. Drained hydraulic fluid
that had water in the system, seemed to fix the problem. Changed buckets with
some difficulty, but after 30 minutes had it attached. A couple of problems were
noted and fixed, a fuel leak and valve cover gasket was leaking oil.
I worked on grinding on the REA trailer. I got all three sides close to done.
It was nice inside the shop, with a breeze blowing thru.
Steve was working on Grasseli tower, got boards replaced on west end and
primed.
LIRR 2937 looked good in new paint and windows. Heat seemed to work okay,
but the AC has some issues I heard. Did not go inside, but passengers seemed
to be enjoying the ride. Train included NKP caboose, EJ&E handicap car, NKP
open air car, and LIRR coach and B&LE caboose.
Things wrapped up fairly quick after the last train and mostly everyone
was gone by 4:30pm.
