Work Night

After the meeting, Ralph set about repairing rolling stock. Glen added more sidewalks to Wellington as Donald ballasted the tracks to the sanding rack. Trent ballasted tracks in Ortona under the watchful eyes of his girlfriend. Sparky (Jim) wired the new east end mainline into Lincoln. With help from Glen, Don and Jim the new turnouts on the west end of Lincoln were installed and tested. Rick, Don,Doug, and Mike cleaned track, and helped out where needed. With the last major project of the year (I promise ( I don't know how to show crossed fingers)) well under way, the railroad is in good shape. I think, and hope the others do too, that installing the code 100 track on the branch line, the new return/ passenger tracks in Wellington, and all the track changes in Lincoln will improve operations and enjoyment of the Huff and Puff Railroad, thanks for all the effort and patience during these major changes.

Trent is/should be ballasting, he may be distracted a bit however.

2 curved turnouts added to the west end of Lincoln, the branch still needs to be connected up.
