Ed Lowrance reports that he spent much of the day in Chama, taking photos. He also attended the volunteer dinner in Antonito. We'll post his photos tomorrow!
Lots going on in Chama - volunteers are working on the restoration of RPO 054; continued repairs to the Chama Stock Pens at the wye; converting box car 3585 to the new Tool Car; and changing out trucks on Flat Car 6649. We received a photo from Clyde Putman, who is team leader in Chama for mechanical maintenance, showing Art Montgomery and Brooks Wilson hard at work on High Side Gondola 1232.
More tomorrow!
WEDNESDAY EVENING: Here are the photos from Ed that he took in Chama yesterday, folks! They start just after the photo of Art Montgomery and Brooks Wilson. Thanks, Ed, for your good work!

As of Thursday, Spero reports that the tool, kitchen and kitchen supply cars are in their new locations, thanks to C&TSRR President John Bush, Ed Beaudette and a train crew.

- Walk-On Volunteer Terry Rider decided to get out of Kansas one week early. He's notched and primed outside sills for Flanger OK and is storing them for the night.

- Team Leader Len Jones at the helm of the John Deere and his "pickup" team of George Trever and Ron Lira have finished digging all the required holes for replacing an entire interior cross fence (after removing the badly deteriorated old fence) and are now cementing new poles in place! Great job, guys!
