Greetings to All,
Pictures were taken of the move of car NKP 344 down to the roundhouse track for
easy access. Scott Griffith is going to start putting appliances back on the C&O 2789.
The last picture is Fred Boyer moving the motor car back into the shop area. The gas
tank was filled up by Cory, an some members took a ride down to IN 10 on the C&O line.
Believe it is the first time used by HVRM since tie replacement program over the summer.
Did not attend the board meeting, but arrived to help fill batteries on the GE with distilled
water. The engine crew moved the LIRR coach back down to the tourist train track. Work
continues on the air conditioner/heating unit.
Mark called into the Wooden Nickel for a lunch of broasted chicken, cole slaw, potato slices,
an biscuits. Joe Kingsbury brought a cake for desert.
Engine crew in record time, moved the NKP 344 to near the shop area. Done by 2:30pm.
The track diamond has been situated near the tower on ballast, for display.
The day started out cold, 25 degrees, but warmed into the 60's by afternoon, nice for sitting
in the sun on the depot deck. Of course, a couple of people showed up for a train ride, but instead
just looked around the grounds. At least they got to see some train action.
Next week is membership meeting at 1pm 21 November in the depot. Last chance to sign up
for a board member position 5 December.
Hope to see you at the meeting.
Tom Travis
