Folks -
Good Day!
Arrived just after the museum Board meeting had started. Board discussed possible donation of a Parlor Car and also a 1600 h.p. Alco RS-3, but moving costs would be high. Also disclosed that the new plastic pipe for the water line has not yet come in. It was reported that Porter 0-4-2T was loaded this past Tuesday and has left North Judson for Colorado.
The man with the blue paint can (Mark Knebel) has been at it again as evidenced in the first photo.
Photo number 2 shows Fred Boyer at left applying new primer to Grasselli Tower while Steve Newland at right puts on light green paint over a previously primed section.
Bob Albert continued his work on the Illinois Central display caboose.
I spent some time looking again for the bell clapper for C&O 2-8-4 # 2789. Found some other bells with clappers, but not the one for the Kanawha.
There were guest engineers for throttle time this morning and a nice passenger count for the two regularly scheduled trains. In the third photo, John DeGan at left, Bjarne Henderson (behind John), Joe Kingsbury (facing camera) and Steve Henrichs, discuss the charging of the air conditioning system on Long Island coach # 2937.
It was mentioned that sand should be applied around the new water line pipe and the fourth photo shows that a load of sand is sitting in the museums dump truck awaiting future usage.
The final photo shows Tom Travis applying gray paint to the Payloader shed.
Cory Bennett and John La Orange worked on repairs for the first yard switch out near Main Street.
Have a great week everyone!
Les
