Greetings,
Sort of a quick report for a Friday. Les got to HVRM at 10am and started washing the
MDT reefer with TSP. Les had completed a lot of scrubbing by the time I arrived. After
a quick run over to the scrap pile to drop off tin and aluminum, we procedded to the
Nickel for a quick bite, meeting up with Gary Rosemond. Good meal and back to
work. Steve Newland and a group of others were working in the shop area.
I had noticed that another load of ties had arrived during the week for tie replacement
near La Crosse. Usually Mark K arrives about 3pm, but did not show, I got the feeling
they were replacing ties today. Well ties were being replaced Thursday and Friday,
another 75 were put in, and 25 need to be tamped tomorrow morning. Saturday
25 more ties will be replace, for a total of 168 or so. Cory, John, Mark, Joe, Matt
were the team today. Tomorrow morning we will complete scrubbing the south
side of the MDT reefer. Will leave the north side for after the NKP photo freight.
Both of us quit at 6pm and headed for home. Tomorrow is the dinner train at
4pm. Maureen and Brianne will come down about 3pm to meet me. Should be fun.
