New Inlay Strips Installed


As a start, here's a picture of the new inlay strips which were installed in the 309 a few months ago. On the left is a door built in 1907 by the Hicks Locomotive and Car Works; on the right the panel includes the inlay I installed in 2007.

Details: This section was heavily damaged by fire in 1971. The door is a replacement from sister car 310. The paneling around it I installed about 1985, but I was unable to find the correct type of inlay until recently.
