It is not steam and it rotates along a horizontal shaft versus a huge spinning wheel, but hey, at least it is something.

I noticed that snow was pushed up against the box and refrigerator cars instead of clearing the snow off the ends of the platform.
It seems a shame that we spend a lot of time and money restoring these cars when snow is left up against the cars which will cause more rapid deterioration.
Any comments?

A couple of years ago when I was there the other side of these cars were covered with black spots from the engines passing by. Then I thought it was a shame to see this with all the work that was done to them

Watching the "Mini" Rotary work again, and again today. We need to keep supporting to be sure it doesn't run out of fuel. :grin:
