| June 12, 2019 11:37PM |
As reported by John Meixel in another thread, we finished the inspection pit and laid track into stall 3 of the Como roundhouse today. Colorado & Southern gondola 4319 ws moved from stall 2 over to stall 3, freeing up stall 2 for its permanent resident, DSP&P boxcar 608 which will return to Como later this summer.
Como roundhouse stall 3 inspection pit, rebuilt and ready for use. June 12, 2019. The rails added today included another Vulcan Steel from September 1881, a Colorado Coal and Iron rail from Pueblo dated 1885 and an 1887 dated Colorado Steel rail.

Another good day in Como, the volunteers who have dedicated their time to this project have been amazing! Sadly, I must return home for a while.
