September 5 Workday
/Perfect weather and a great turnout of members resulted in a very productive work day. Not pictured, crews started the day out with weed control around the track and general debris cleanup from various projects over the past few months.
Below members are leveling track and spreading 6 train loads of ballast work in the steaming bay area.
Finishing touches were also put in on the new Gaddes Yard area on both the track and new electrical system. The yard now has multiple permanent outlets with 2 dedicated circuits for charging electric locomotives. This electrical system and the new outlets for the vendor area were also tested during the day. Unplanned, crews also replaced a switch on the mainline on the upper lead near the playground that had been damaged over the summer.
Finally, progress was made at the new passenger depot building. This included assembling desks and mounting iPad stands for electronic passenger waivers. Additionally, work began on the permanent fencing around the depot building. All of this work is scheduled to be complete before the fall meet.
