Line Car Restoration

 Gregg Wolfersheim continues his steady progress on rebuilding the IT line car:


Work has started on the south side of the line car. The old siding was removed and some rotted framing was cut out. The window sill was missing for many years and everything below it suffered from the weather.



New pieces were spliced into the existing framework.



The crossbrace was reusable, but the sill and horizontal brace below it were made new. After everything was assembled, it was primed.



The main frame was treated with water seal and then primed with damp proof red primer. Next will be cutting new siding, priming and painting with installation soon after.
