Richard Dick, Margrethe Feldman and Karen Stover ride the speeder to the bridge site.
Richard Hobbs and Art Evans set a window in cook car 053.
Dale Brown spreads epoxy on the sills of caboose 05635. Painting epoxy and sawdust on the sills is an attempt to keep dry-rot down, by filling in the checks so no water can stand on the sills.
Flat car 6314 is about ready to be turned right side up.
Volunteers carry a new replacement door to be installed between the machine shop and the engine house. The new doors will keep the winter cold outside. The cold air on the side of the milling machine and the warm air from the stove made it impossible to keep a close tolerance on the mill.
Lifting the small door in place between the machine shop and engine house. The doors were made during Work Session C.
Roger Cardin and John Sutkus admire the new set of doors.
