More photos, folks!

Mike McGinley was good enough to climb to the top of the boiler to take a picture of the date the boiler was built. It shows a build date of 8-1925!

Mike McGinley holds a "needle scaler" that is used to remove old paint and rust. It is an extremely slow process, but the best process known at this time.

Team Leader Craig McMullen has just inserted a bolt in the top door rail while Pat Sandt tightens nuts on the bolts inside of Boxcar #3585 - the new tool car!

Phil and Larry McDonald work on putting shutters on the old car body beside the log bunkhouse in Chama. It's used by Team Leader Clyde Putman and his team members for maintenance of wheels, brakes and safety appliances for rail cars.

Hi Ted, great photos posted today. The work being done especially the headway on the car barn roof considering all the wind they must deal with is amazing! Working in the CRF in Antonito makes things downright civilized when it comes to working conditions.

Can you please talk to Mike McGinley and ask him if he needs more needles for the gun? I can bring them and a whip hose out in E, thanks! John
