Here are some pics from today

Dr Soos and Bob are working on the coal tipple. Let's call this one "Dr Soos and two men with a hat".


Don and his team are replacing a major beam in the future kitchen box car storage.


This box car is done and it's getting paint


Caroline and Jeannie in the kitchen car on burger day


Maggie and Mary Jane are also helping with burger day


Tank car lettering continues


New boards installed from the wood shop crew


Up at Cumbres the section house is getting spray painted. It looks like a new building

Joe, thanks for posting those. We wish we could be there to pitch in. (at least with the picture taking )

Jean (for Rich)

Glad to see the kitchen crew getting their due as those gals keep everyone well fed and lets the teams concentrate on getting work done. The lettering on the tank cars looks great and really gives them a finished appearance.

And the chow is pretty tasty, too!

All that new paint on the section house sure looks great and will help protect the new siding when 'serious winter' comes to Cumbres Pass. The new walkway wood on the tank cars sure looks great. The old wood was in such poor condition that it seem to explode into pieces when we hit it with the sandblaster last summer. That and the new stenciling really makes the cars look great!

Nice progress on Cumbres!
