Spring Cleaning workday this Saturday, March 19th & Board of Director meeting
Our spring-cleaning workday will be this Saturday, March 19th starting at 8:30 a.m. The plan is to clean up around the property, perform track and equipment maintenance, organize the containers, and whatever else we can find to take care of around the railroad.
The more we get done the sooner we can enjoy the railroad during our second club fun day of the year on Saturday, April 2nd. Make sure you bring a lunch, plenty of water, and a good sense of humor.
The Board of Directors will also be holding a meeting at 11 a.m. Any member is welcome to observe the meeting. Note that this meeting is different than our general club meeting, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 2nd at 1 p.m.

The first workday of 2022 is in the books. What a productive day.
The first workday of the 2022 season is in the books. The crew spent the day installing about 200 feet of track and two switches for the next member container. The crew consisted of Calvin, John T., Norm, Ben, “Bob”, David E., Thomas K., Gene, Robby, Rick, Wes, and Andrew. The day went well even with the normal heckling and second guess what we were doing. By the end of the day things came together well and this project is now about 90% complete.
