Line Car Report

 Gregg Wolfersheim reports on recent progress on Illinois Terminal line car 1702:

Several weeks ago the roof of the line car was painted to seal it up.

And then, suddenly, the four lift posts disappeared. This will make it easier to apply the canvas.

The canvas was spread out on some pavement and thoroughly washed.

This past Sunday a system was designed and built to start stretching the canvas.

Here is the other end slowly coming up to the edge. Hopefully in another week it will extend past the edge. Then we'll be ready to start tacking it down.
