WE NOW HAVE A SINGLE TRACK INTO OUR NEW ENGINE FACILITY. Lot of hard work by just a small group of us crazies, wanting to make sure the #5 caboose doesn't go another winter in the snow.
We will be hauling 6 ballast cars from the ballast pile to the McEwen yard next Saturday using the 19. We will spread the ballast one car at a time with the 18-ton.
Fall colors are also looking good in Sumpter Valley.
