WORK SESSION C - Wednesday, June 19 - Part I

[Ted Smith]

It’s hard to believe we are at the halfway point of Work Session C! But we can tell that is the case as we see lots of progress in the Friends’ work activities. For example, at Antonito, the team working on the roof of the car shelter started early this morning to avoid the higher winds later in the day; they have completed a little more than half of the southeast side of the roof. The volunteers working on the Chama stock pens are coming along nicely with a new interior fence. And the Cook Car 053 team in Antonito is making excellent progress on the framing of the clerestory windows!

Photos follow:

Beth March and Carol Mackey do a little "house cleaning" in the tool car.

Bob Hawkins, Marshall Smith, Wayne Huddleston (standing with yelllow hard hat on) and Spero Bettalico taking a break at the kitchen car where all the "goodies" live!

Diana Gross and Holly Ross converse with a couple of visitors who were going to ride the train.

Team Leader Craig Kumler observes team members Anne Woolsey (on the ladder) and Terri Shaw lettering another car that was painted in 2012.

Team Leader Len Jones and his team of George Detwiler, Walt Duncan, Bob Hewitt and Charles Joerg are coming along very nicely with a new interior fence in the Chama stock pens.

Team Leader Len Jones cuts a board to "length" as the boards need to end in the middle of the post so two boards can be nailed to the same post where they meet.

Two piles of scrap lumber have already been pulled out of Gondola #1232.

Mike McGinley uses a compressor to blow out bits and pieces of paint and rust from the front of Engine #483 which is being cosmetically restored.
