August 22 Workday
/With the Fall Meet only a month away, the work crews were motivated to wrap up several projects around the layout. After many hours of work, the new Gaddes (Phase 1) is now complete. The new yard has five parking tracks and electrical outlets for charging battery powered equipment. This will alleviate the congestion at the small electric yard near the steaming bays. Over the next year, Phase 2 of the yard will start to take shape.
The new Passenger Depot project is moving along very well. Last week, additional sidewalks were poured. Over the coming weeks, the concrete will be finished and fencing will be installed. This will be a huge upgrade to station operation and a better experience for our guests riding the trains.
