We were out working in the heat! This day we were out working on the bridge just below Casper Cut.
The ties on the bridge were failing and the top level bulkhead ties were going also.  Some pics of us working
on the replacement.  A note: the bridge ties were spiked to the bulkhead tie so I cut them out with a recip saw and
then had to grind down the stubs.  Jack shows off the old bulkhead ties and yells “hurry up, as ants heading up arm”!
A shot of the train going back to the barn and tying up for the day from the cab window.   - Tom
