Work night at the Huff & Puff

Well we're in the black for next year, and that's a good thing. A short meeting to discuss on going projects that need to be completed, and off to work we go. Glen and Jim had done some scenery work at the cement plant, and that continues. With the reduction of coal traffic, oil, cement, and grain are now the major shippers on the layout.











 As Jim, Donald and me add more feeders, Mike and Trent start ballasting the upper loop.








Some of us dress up for work night.








Tom (who we ellected as president because he was late for the meeting) is hard at work on the branch line.


Almost everyone worked on the line to the power plant. As the traffic to the power plant has been drastically reduced, 1 siding was cut short and joined to the other one forming a run around. This will let operators pull in the coal cars and then run around them to drop them off, instead of having to push them all the way down the siding.










The ties were left in place to represent
abandoned track.
