On Saturday, July 13, volunteers Dwight Maxey, Colin Mellin, Bruce Davis, Chris Pollard, Chris Traficante and Paul Brown braved some record high heat to replace a couple of ties in our main running track, and then did some clean up work. We took advantage of the slightly cooler morning temperatures to replace a couple of worn out ties in the main running track. It was pretty straightforward work, with the ballast being old cinders. After cleaning up from the work, we took a long lunch to recover from the heat.<\/p>\n

After lunch, we did some clean up work around the front of the shop, and decided to trim some branches from a couple of large elm trees there. As is usual, we had some difficulty with the chain saw and had to go into repair mode to get it to run for a short time. Towards the end of the day, it rained a bit and really made things miserable, so the crew decided to call it a day.<\/p>\n

Here are a few pictures of today\u2019s action.<\/p>\n
