Project Status
North Yard - Kevin Hayashi
The North Yard mountain route crossover has been connected and is functional. It still needs to have a final tamping and rail guard boards added.
Lumber Camp Return Bridge - Bill Boller
Tom is finishing the arches today. Bill is cutting parts of the main arch. Tom’s archwork needs to be installed to ensure the grade work is correct before Bill leaves for vacation.
Bill says the right-of-way needs some grading and re-surveying including the caboose loop area.
Although the caboose loop right-of-way was worked on due to equipment availability it will not be pursued much further when the equipment goes away, The Lumber Camp project will still have priority for this year. Moving the bridge segment will require all-hands and the forklift to move it into its field location.
Lumber Camp Redwood Trestle - Ken
5 trestle segments are built, just waiting for their height to be established.
Caboose Loop Trestle - Ken
Dirt is waiting for Ken to continue to cover the exposed pier blocks.
Run Weekend Event - Bob S.
113 guests are scheduled to attend the coming weekend run date. May need to look at limiting attendance for next year’s event. Ken will take care of parking. Main parking is the old tank courtyard. Lunch is $8.00 per person for burgers and hot dogs. Russ will water down the track. Everyone with guests should try to get them to sign the Waivers in advance to keep things moving.
Completion of the North Yard/Crossover will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony around 10:30am. No formal plans on Sunday, so anyone who wants to run a steamer on Sunday should water the track themselves in advance of their run.
The door lock to the Station House is not working. Jake will be notified to have a locksmith work on it.
Everyone is responsible for their own guests and to keep their children under control from a safety standpoint and away from the Steaming Bay.
Safety, Miscellaneous and Procedure notes
PV&A RR took ownership of the two forklifts which will be housed in building 4. We are responsible for fuel and maintenance as our expense henceforth.
IMPORTANT: Make certain the toaster oven and coffee pot are turned off after use.
