309 Painting Continues

The 309 was moved onto the pit on Sunday for inspection, which we will probably start on Wednesday. On the left, we see the work that Frank did on Sunday - the north side of the car is nearly complete. On the right, I spent all day doing the grey sections, and then the red stripes on the south side of the car.

Some people may be interested in the process of building up a worn trolley shoe. To the left, here is the one that Lenny did last Saturday - this is after welding up, but before grinding it smooth. It's hard to show in a photograph; you really need to examine it in person. I'll have to get a picture of a worn shoe to show the before and after. That might help.

And finally, a view from the bridge.






Update: Phil Stepek gave me a CD loaded with pictures he took on Memorial Day. Here's a couple of samples.
