A couple more photos from yesterday;
The Como Track Crew at work extending Track 17. Along with adding three rail lengths to this track, we finished the track in stall 4 of the roundhouse and re arranged the tie pile to make room for more ties that will be coming soon.

The "motive power" takes a rest after pushing DSP&P 608 onto the turntable. 608 is light enough that 5 or 6 people cane easily push it on level track.
