A tree fell across the tracks and
bent both rails. On the 17th, we removed the tree up and cleared
the tracks to replace rails. The boot points to the damaged
area. Also, in the past, Jack and I
(Tom)
talked about changing the Mile Posts with Clear Lake as 0. This
was also done with help from Doug F and Carl J. On the
18th, I cut up a bunch of new ties. On the 21st, Tom W came down
to help. We worked on changing out the bent rail. One
photo shows Tom getting ready to cut the bad spot out. Another
shows him starting to unbolt the right rail. Then the old
rail out and waiting for us putting in the new. Turns out the
new rail was 1/4 inch to long so I need to cut a little off. A
task for another day. On the 22nd, the new rail is in and the track
can now be safely transversed.

If you feel
some photos are blurry or fuzzy, this is what I was sent to load. I
did take a couple and crop to show more of the key area. -
