Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 6:43 pmThe track nearest to the CRF building was elevated to a finished grade today. All of this work was done by hand and with jacks. Antonito now has a rail yard for historic cars. Soon it will have a roof to protect them.

Posted: Mon May 28, 2012 11:09 amJoe, The pictures of yours and Ted Smith show a great deal of track work completed in the first work session. Was all the jacking and leveling done by the friends? The second question, will the balance of track work be finished in the second work session ? Thanks again for your pictures and up dates. Fred L. Kuhns
