We had to cut some sections of rail to act as flange-ways, and place recycled crushed concrete for the drive surface. While part of the group was finishing up this work, Bruce and Kendall decided to clean up some weeds, which is a great help as this is a major issue on the Museum grounds, and all of the volunteers got in on the work before breaking for lunch.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch, the crew headed out to do cleanup at our two grade crossings. We cleaned the rocks and debris that collected in the flange-ways and at the end of the crossing. We also checked the gauge of the track through the crossing to make sure we don\u2019t have a major problem brewing. The crew checked out some other track and drove in a few spikes that always work loose. After this work, we finished up our day and headed home.<\/p>\n<p>I have included a few pictures of the work done today.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Paul<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>Photos by Paul Brown and Kendall Crouch<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, February 24, volunteers Dwight Maxey, Colin Mellin, Kendall Crouch, Bruce Davis, Chris Pollard, Dannis Hudson and Paul Brown got busy to finish work [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":15320,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[321],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-heritage-trains"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
