Week 76

Week 76

Missing Carlos and Josh, but the rest of the crew is here tonight!

Wednesday, December 23, 2015

Our last session of the year.

I am leaving for Ghana on Sunday for two weeks.

We'll be taking a two week hiatus from the train.

Here's what happened this week at the train crew operations.

 Dean Hatzis replacing the make shift #6 mainline switch with a brand new #6 purchased at the last train show.

 Action shot of Dean in action.

 Ed Nelson at the inspection station.

He has become our main car inspector.

Several more cars went through the shop tonight.

Ed also added lubricate to wheels to aid in the ease for rolling stock.

 One of our camera shots.

I thought it was kinda neat to capture Dean on the screen and in person.

 Close up of the same.

 Jordan Osborn reviewing "the book".

 Jordan's trademark camera greeting while at the controls.

Will anyone be cleaning up all those wires?

The start of the next video.

Checking out the newly installed #6 switch on the mainline.

This video shows the test train running over Dean's newly installed mainline switch.

As you will see, no defects whatsoever.

That's great workmanship by a great craftsman.

Notice the attention a running train gets.
