Thursday at TM

[John C Black]

Dustin worked on the dump truck heater.

 

Richard picked up rest of rock for Hairpin bank and placed it on the bank at Hairpin, we are waiting on more rock at this point.  Then Richard winterized everything that he could without affecting the meet.  Then he worked on replacing steel rail on corner leaving K & W entering Train Mountain.

Raven cleaned as the Fall Colors Meet dragged in dirt.

John,

   I was able to run over most the track with my track blower Thurs, just before the meet.  There were a few sections that I just didn't have time to clean, since I was at TM only one day.  Leaving my house at 5 am and trying to get back to Redding before dark, left me with only about 6 hours on the track, with the shortening days in Autumn.  I used my hand-held blower for many of the sidings and intersections. I couldn't believe how thick the pine needles can build up in only a few weeks. I wish I could get back up there again this fall before the snow starts falling, but I kind of doubt it.  There is going to be a lot of leaves on Aspen Grove loop.  You all have fun at the fall colors meet.
