Como track work day August 2

Yesterday was a track work day in Como;

First project of the day was to extend the track next to the ashpit 3 rail lengths. Thanks to the air spiker, we got this done before lunch! Finished the day be adding three rail lengths to track 11 and getting it tied to the frog at track 10. The switch itself will be finished next spring as we need to have parts made for the stub switch.


D&RGW 6302, GB&L 9228 and C&TS 203 rest on the newly extended storage track on August 2. All three cars are on track that did not exist at 9am that morning.
