Tacking Along

Another brief report this time:  Roof work on the 460 is going well, but one row of tacks looks pretty much like another (at least that's the goal) so first let's see what some other projects are doing.

John is getting ready to install the upper sash windows in the 306, which will be a dramatic step forward.   First, he put a final coat of exterior paint on all the frames, as seen here.




Tim was working on the 1808, of course, and is in the process of rebuilding the floors at each end.




It's a complicated construction.


Finally, here we see some new tacks.  The south side, I think:


And the north side:





Finally, we have another picture of the 409 in revenue service, this time with Ron Seaver as the motorman.


But the main thing we're looking forward to is Labor Day Weekend, of course.  Don't miss it!

Paul Hough says what a build up for 409 debue on Labor Day! Will there be a red carpet? It looks great!

The 409 should be running with the 431 on Sunday. But I'm not aware of any real cosmetic work that has been done on it since we acquired it in 2010. It's always looked great.
