Here are some pics from today.

I forgot to show the sheep car restoration in the swamp the last couple days So here are several photos

Paint car now has a new waterproof membrane on the roof

Former rider box is seriously naked. However in a quality restoration, things are taken down to good wood. So a job well done!

Box 3090 with some new siding and new fascia board

Thanks, Jason.
Hopefully what we are doing will make it last another 100 years. Bob Conry will welcome any volunteers for other sessions.

I was in Chama, Cumbres and Antonito on Thursday. Here are a few more to fill in around the edges. Most of the action in revolved around the final assembly of the passenger trucks for RPO 053 and remodeling the Bunk Car. Some additional shots of the Car Inspector's House as well.

I didn't get to Chama until Friday morning, so the story picks up in the next link.
