Drizzly hard working day at HVRM 11-2-13

Greetings!
 
Cool day in 40's with light rain in afternoon.
 
A number of guest engineers kept the operating personnel busy all day.  Crew included Fred Boyer, John LaOrange, Doug Kosloske,
Bjarne Henderson, and probably others that I missed.
 
Bob Albert put the last of the windows in the cupola of the yellow ex-IC display caboose.  Interior about finished.
 
Joe Baker working on electric alongside the recently installed concrete floor strip on the south wall of the West Annex of the Shop.
 
Gandy Dancers started two sections of panel track on the turntable lead.  Ties set down, rail moved onto ties and joint bars joining the
rail to the existing track bolted in.  Spiking started by hand with Mark Knebel driving spikes on first rail before drizzle made working
uncomfortable.  Others on track crew included Cory Bennett, Rich Warner, Dave Cook, Tom Travis, Steve Henrichs, Bob Jachim, Les
Beckman and Bing Risley who dragged rail to the track from the storage yard. 
 
A number of visitors to the museum today.  Bob Barcus and Loretta Kosloske in depot.  Margrett Cook and Diane Bennett made lunch
with help from Judy Boyer.
 
Daylight Savings Time ends tonight.  Set your clocks back an hour.
