Train operations report!
Periodically, we need to redeploy our rolling stock and other equipment in Roundhouse Park. On Thursday, September 26th we assembled a crew of volunteers to safely make such a series of moves. Michael Guy reports on what happened that day:
"Our equipment shuffle got off to a good start at about 9:45
this morning - both engines in loco #1 started despite not having been used for
some time. The old 1950's rear engine did accept a little snort of ether as
encouragement though.
The purpose of the day was twofold:
- Help Steam Whistle Brewing remove two rental office trailers from their patio via the turntable
- Turn Cape Race in stall 15 so that we could work on the other side.
The trailer transport company didn't show up on time so we had to use my jeep!
Note in the side view below of the Elwell-Parker crane that we have installed Hy-Rail "training
wheels" to allow it to run on our tracks through soft ground
and over service pits."
