Ballast and Ties

At the April 19 Workday, the focus was filling in ties and the initial ballasting of all the track past the bridges.

  • Bob made panels
  • Paul cut ties
  • Ken and Linda started the day mounting the ends of the guardrails to points
  • John O levelled track around the Austin loop to facilitate ballast trains
  • John T and Mark made the final track connections at Agua Dulce and in the Austin yard
  • Sofia, Shannon, Aaron, Chris, and Richard installed ties around the loop
  • Ken and Tim shuttled tractor loads of ballast to awaiting cars at the front grade crossing
  • Stephen, Chris, Richard, and John T spread ballast
  • Lori and Linda produced a big sandwich buffet

Great work!
