On Saturday I was running the 714 and 749 for the Bunny Hop event. Derek White was the conductor and we were the only mainline train. Basically everything went well, and I was too busy to get any pictures. But you've all seen the North Shore cars before. Whether attendance for the event met expectations I couldn't say; our passengers all seemed to be in a good mood.
But during a brief lunch break I managed to get a few pictures of the projects in the shop.
Frank K. is making new sign frames for 50th Avenue. They look great.
Buzz was carefully painting the new door for the Ely.
Bill showed me the parts we have for the roll sign mechanisms from the CA&E St. Louis cars. More on that later.
The signal department got evicted from the office building, as we have explained, so here Mike Alterio and John Naglich were working on some signal parts in the car shop. They were busy, so I didn't stop to ask them exactly what it was.
Steve continued fighting the recalcitrant PCC brake actuators. He too was busy.
I didn't even have time to venture into the barn to see what was going on there.
And later, just as I was leaving the property, another huge and photogenic switch move started. But I was too hungry to stay around. Sorry!!
