Train Ride Day Recap for Saturday, April 29, 2023
What an incredible day we had on Saturday and a big shout out to our members and volunteers who made the day such a huge success. The railroad operated with six trains which included NGLS diesel, NGLS steam engine, Gene’s Berk, Peter’s 10-Wheeler, Wes’s electric steam engine, and Norms diesel. We also had the use of some extra riding cars from Dave E. and Norm. Sam and Norm ran the station with our new PA system while Susan, Charlotte, and Joan took care of the waiver table and concessions. Rick handled our ticket booth while Ben took care of the steaming siding and napping area. The rest of the NGLS crew took care of being conductors and railroad operations. This helped us have the biggest single day passenger count on record giving 711 rides on the railroad within a 3 1/2-hour period. That’s more than 200 riders per hour. This means our trains traveled around the railroad about 15 times throughout the day traveling nearly 15 miles.

The past couple of days have been busy around the railroad in preparation of our season opener next weekend. On Friday, Sam and Wes got a jump start on cutting the grass which made Saturday very productive. The Saturday crew consisted of Ben, Rick, Scott, John Tuten, Peter, Robby, Norm, Gene, Sam, and Tyler. Tyler spent the day cleaning the club steamer and when you see it next weekend you will notice just how clean he made it. Rick, Peter, and Robby took out the club diesel and went around the railroad and performed track maintenance. Norm, Sam, Gene, and Robby cleaned up the passenger station fence including putting new hooks on the fence posts and painting the posts. John and Wes worked on track items for member container #4. Norm brought back the remaining passenger trucks with repaired brakes, new springs, and other maintenance items now complete on the trucks. Now all passenger trucks have been rebuilt and ready for operation. Work was also done behind the red container cleaning out and organizing our storage space in preparation of our next order of railroad tie material arriving in the next week. This also meant rehoming a few tenants to new homes with the cleanup. Overall, extremely product day and looking forward to our season opener next Saturday, April 29th. Setup next Saturday will start at 8:30 a.m.

Workday Recap for Saturday, March 18th
What an incredible day around the railroad during our March 18th workday. The day start out a little cold, ok just above freezing cold, as John, Robby, and Scott positioning track panels for container number four while Rick, Gene, and Norm did a little planning on the shop container project. Wes joined in on the fun with the container crew as they removed a switch from the mainline, which was the old red container switch near the main grade crossing. Norm and Gene removed the rest of the cross over switch from the mainline that was used to get to the middle of the steaming siding near the water tower. The crew then took the switches and rebuilt them before reinstalling them for the container number for track. The crew also ballasted the panels as the day ended.

Progress was made on Member Container 4 this past weekend
Progress on member container #4 continues to move along. This past Saturday John and Robby spent the day installing about 75’ of track for what John calls the “River side siding”. Bob C. also stopped by and picked up the club steamer so he can complete the installation of a new check valve. Norm also stopped by in search of the rail bender. We can call off the search parties as the benders have been found at an undisclosed location.
