On Saturday, March 16, volunteers Dwight Maxey, Colin Mellin, Bruce Davis, Chris Pollard, Kendall Crouch and Paul Brown started by setting up the battery charger again on our jump battery set to get them ready to use. We then went to work on our cabooses to make sure they are ready for our first event in two weeks. We made sure we had wood to burn for heat, and that things were cleaned up inside. The C&W caboose got some extra attention, as we prepare to rebuild cupola seating into this car, making it a little more passenger friendly. We checked on the battery charging and found that the jump set showed 100% complete, so we set the charger up to hit the batteries onboard Engine 104. We then took lunch.
We spent the afternoon looking over some of our other equipment, and catching a few odds and ends tasks that we came across. We checked on the battery charger for a second time and found that it had completed its charge cycle on Engine 104. As it was getting late in the afternoon, we tied up for the day.
I have included a few pictures of Saturday’s action, as well as some photos of some excellent cleanup work done by Bruce Davis on March 12.
