We had a busy
month. I did some ditching while Jack was gone. I dumped by the
trestle for most loads but took one to a field trail where it crossed
the tracks.Next
up was cleaning the moss off the ground at Clear Lake. It got dumped by the
trestle also. Jack and I worked on ballasting and tie replacement on the
CBE branch. Jack re-worked the field trail next to the track, as water was
running off it and washing into the ties. #25 poses next to the
trail. We stopped here! A shot of Jack, resting on the end car for
the trip back to the barn. More ballasting on the CBE as we found
some more bad ties. A shot of the first switchback on the CBE branch.
Then we put new ties in as needed.More CBE
branch ballasting took place. We moved on to the cut at Phelps to do
moss removal and ditching. Got some done before we wore out. The 28th
worked more on the cut.I
dumped it up on the CBE Branch fill. - Tom
