The pre-season work sessions are a vital part of our preparations for the season, because we are depending on them to put the coaches in reasonable condition for our customers. The coaches are run down, the paint bad, seats worn and torn, windows and doors broken and so on. There is a lot of work to be done, and anyone who can make it is encouraged to contact the Friends office in Albuquerque (505-880-1311) and sign up. By signing up, Jerry and Roger can make some plans for you ahead of time, and Mary can include you in meal plans. The railroad is dealing with trucks, brakes and draft gear, but all the cosmetic and comfort work will be done by the Friends' volunteers.
