Wood Car Schedule

The CA&E wood cars are scheduled to run the next two weekends. For now, it will probably be 309 and 319. This pair works well together. The 319 has a much better step design, so having it available for service is an improvement. Many of our visitors have a lot of difficulty with the steps on the 308 and 309, so we've decided the best thing is to use the yellow metal steps with the blue cars, as though they were L cars that have no steps.

In any case, we have crews signed up for both Saturdays, June 4th and 11th, but we need three-man crews for the Sundays, 5th and 12th. I can probably take one position if I have to, but we need more people. Please sign up if you can. Thanks! After that, we'll be off for a while.

I've started working on fixing some worn parts in the 308's controllers, helped by Rod. Once this problem is fixed, we can inspect the 308 and clear it for service. The plan is to switch off the cars during the summer to equalize wear and tear.
