Ballasting and Installing Trestle Stringers

An impressive 13 people joined the work for the workday on January 25. Here are the highlights:

  • John T brought his entire family: wife Sofia and sons Chris and Luke.
  • Doug and his girlfriend Kathy led the work to fill in ties at joints with John T adding as well.
  • Sofia was busy clearing encroaching vegetation.
  • John O led the ballasting effort teaching Chris and Luke along the way with John and Sofia working as well.
  • Bob continued with new track panel construction.
  • Ken, Tim, James, and Stephen installed the stringers on the trestle. The measured length of the trestle is 165 feet 6 inches.
  • Linda created a fantastic meal for all (Lori was out again running a chess tournament).

Lots of cameras captured the work. Be sure to scroll through them all.
