I am going to try and group these according to project. All were shot with my personal camera and not one of the point and shoots that they were handing out.
I am starting with the wheel and tie car which basically had to be taken down to the framing and rebuilt.
In this shot looking up the car, you can see the new beams that were installed.
Sometimes bolts need encouragement to fit.
This is the only shot I have of the block and tie car.
This is the flanger OK and we see Bill and Billy working on the lettering.
Showing some of the detail of the wings.
Looking into an area not often seen, the journal packing box on the OK.
Shot of the Gramps Oil loading rack crew getting the new decking up onto the supports.
They needed a tank car spotted at one of the loading points so they could adjust the filling nozzle and the gang plank to the car. We see Conductor Ray working with one of the crew to spot the car.
This is how you paint the piping used to construct the oil rack, paint mit.
