2020 session Cumbres Pass Car Inspectors House work
Posted: Sat Jun 27, 2020 10:29 amA crew came together to continue the work that has been ongoing for several years to repair and rebuild the Car Inspectors house at Cumbres Pass. Last year is was noted during this work at the foundation was in very poor shape and needed to be completely redone. So this year the crew began by doing this. All 4 walls were removed intact to enable quick reassembly and work on the foundation began.
A big thanks and credit for these photographs goes to Tom Simco who sent them to me for this posting.
It should the noted as you look at these pictures that the crew maintain social distancing as best they could under the trying circumstances which includes doing strenuous work at 10,000 feet. There were times when distancing was not able to be maintained but these were held to a bare minimum.
