Several folks have renamed the place "Woodhenge"

The track crew under direction of John Matthews and Marvin Casis have constructed three switches with which to access the new car shelter. In order to properly do this the lead to the CRF first had to be straightened. i am told the first of the three switches has now been cut into the lead.

Joe, Thanks, for the pictures of the shop work and the track construction. Looking forward to A & B work sessions to see the finished completion of track. Wonder if the friends plan to add sidewalks between the tracks? Fred L.Kuhns
