December 14 Workday

The removal and re-design of Gaddes Yard is still ongoing. The yard had over 1500 feet of track with more then 15 switches, so removal has taken a lot of time and effort. Huge thanks to Matt Irwin, Jon Sproat, and Michael Haywood for coming out to the workday. You can see in the last two photos the amount of track that was taken up on Saturday. There is still a lot of work that needs to be completed before we can start putting in the new yard. The current plan is to have some of the yard operational by the 2020 Spring Meet, but that will depend on attendance during future work days.


Additionally, want to thank Alan Woodyard for removal of the wooden retaining wall shown below. The wood had begun to deteriorate and only had a few more years of life left. Also, the wall was blocking the path needed to get electrical power over to Gaddes Yard.
