Greetings!
Had a family situation this morning, so got a VERY late start to the museum today, not arriving until well after lunch. Not sure what all was going on but I know that the boys in the Shop were testing one of their reconditioned Porter brake valves, and heard that the test was successful! Loretta Kosloske was cleaning out the EL commuter coach. Matt Lasayko had discovered a couple of C&O right-of-way concrete markers last week and we decided to try to dig them out for display. So, that's what I tackled this afternoon. The first photo shows one of the posts as buried amongst the trees and leaves. I dug around the post and eventually got a hole down pretty far on one side. Shad Vargo came over and tried shaking it by hand, and it moved! Then asked Bing Risley to come over with his machine and Bing managed to pull the post straight up so that it wouldn't crack. Bing transported it over to one of our display sites and laid it down. The other two pix, show the two sides with the impressed lettering. NEAT! One post to go...but for another day!
