We are in need of repairing a 50-foot section of track on the west end of the railroad near the Nicols bridge. The plan is to move a switch and install a couple of new panels in order to smooth out a curve to switch area that was beginning to create some operational challenges on the railroad. If you have time between now and the 24th to go to the railroad we need three new straight panels built in order to make the 24th go quicker. Otherwise for those that are planning on coming out on Saturday, February 24th we plan on getting started around 8:30 a.m. with a full day of removing a switch, installing new ties, and track panels. The more that are available to help the faster we can complete the repair and make the railroad operational again.

Some other items we will need help with including making sure we can get ballast from the ballast pile to the west end of the railroad to load the gondola and buckets so we can ballast the repaired area. If you have any questions regarding what is needed, please contact Robby with any questions.

Also note in order for the railroad to be completely operation for our March club fun day this work will need to be completed before March 2nd.
