Monday Report

Working in our nice heated car shop goes along on weekdays smoothly without too much trouble from the weather, as long as you can actually drive to the property.  I was working on the next third-rail beam, and cut the notch (with some help from Fritz), drilled all the holes, and gave it a first coat of primer.

But the new beam for the end platform on the Green Bay car is even bigger and heavier.  It looks like it's getting done also.  


The 306 guys are working steadily to complete the wiring and other mechanical systems on the 306.  Here Gerry is underneath the car with Fred helping.


And work continues on the Michigan Electric 28.  I didn't get a picture of the work in progress, because I was busy on my own project, but the front compartment is coming together.  


I'm told a test application of orange paint to the front of the car revealed that the color still isn't quite right, so it will be remixed by our paint master Pete Galayda.


And of course Tim continues his work on the 1268.
