The PORTER report

Report from Les Beckman, See more pictures on RYPN under Thread, Notre Dame Railroad 

 
11-19-2013
 
I went over to Hoosier Valley today, getting there at 11:00.  Report was that the
truck with 5332 had just cleared La Crosse.  Arrived about 11:30.  Then the guy
tried to drive over the C&I "hump" and his low trailer got stuck.  We spent the
day trying to get it so it could be pulled onto museum property for unloading. 
When I left there at 4:00, it was closer, but still had not cleared the crossing.  Fred
Boyer said he had to stay as he was going to be acting as conductor for the GE for
the move of the Porter off of the trailer.  I called him about 5:15 and he said that
they had finally gotten it over and just left it there.  Going to work on it beginning
at 8:00 tomorrow morning.  
 
Wednesday 11-20-2013, unloading of ND&W 5332 was accomplished.
