Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2018 2:32 pmStill nothing from Chama from Wednesday, but here are some downloads from Tim in Antonito.
Work dismantling the Drop Bottom Gondola continues with removal of salvageable parts. The car is now inside the CRF:
Randy and Chris working on the GRAMPS tank car
Highlight of the day was the dedication of the Antonito Car Repair Facility (CRF) to our great, late Ed Lowarnce. Thanks, Ed!
Craig Kumler in Chama sent me a couple of photos of Tank Cars #12757,#13168, #12918. They scraped, primered and painted the running boards around each car.
Hope something shows up from Chama soon. It may simply be so hot there that everything melted.
