Work Session B - Fourth Day

[Ted Smith]

The Friends' volunteers in Sessions A and B are feeling good about their progress! The exterior of Cook Car 053 will be completely sided, with some very impressive woodworking done by members of the team. The steel truss team volunteers' work in pairing the trusses for installation by the Session C team, led by Ted Norcross and the Square Nail Gang, is going well also. The stock car restoration team has begun its work, as well.

Thanks for all the great photos Ted. The one looking through the stock car really shows where the car storage building, (pole barn) is going to be in relationship to the stock car being worked on, (which is next to the CRF building). It is no wonder why people like Marshal and Mary Jane and many others keep coming back every year as you get to work with some really great people while helping to preserve narrow gauge history. Hard to beat that!

Very nice work by the stenciling team!
