After the meeting, the work began on the various projects. I am following 3 of them so most of my work related shots will be from these and will try to get some additional shots from the other chroniclers. Today will add shots from the conversion of the passenger box to a box car to be used in photo trains and also work being done on the MOW bunk car to get it ready for the fall trains.
