Greetings!
Short report today as I had to leave before Noon due to a family commitment.
The regular bi-monthly membership/business meeting was held this morning. The membership approved spending the monies to transport the purchased EL open window coach from Noblesville to North Judson. Check the upcoming newsletter for additional discussed items.
It was cloudy most of the day, with a nice brisk wind that kept temps in the 70's. An indication of the wind is in the first photo showing the red flag on the rear of B&LE caboose #1989 blowing while the car sat at the North Judson depot. Very comfortable for a mid-July day.
We had one guest engineer this morning. Doug Kosloske was the conductor and Steve Henrichs the engineer.
Some time back, I mentioned that I had removed an Erie Lackawanna herald from the MKT open flat car and repainted it. The second shot shows that herald back on the car. Not all projects at the museum are large efforts and this is just one example of something small that could be done to help out HVRM.
Last week, I showed a photo of Bing Risley getting set to move a concrete slab into place in front of the lower door to Grasselli Tower. I managed to get that slab leveled today and here it is in its new location (3rd photo). The slab was once part of another structure at HVRM and Bing saved it and it has now found this new home. I still need to get some additional gravel around it.
Also from last week, I mentioned that John La Orange used the Payloader to bring some additional ties over to the west side of the Shop for the track being laid there. The last photo shows those ties in place.
Enjoy your upcoming week everyone!
Les
