On Saturday, we had four crews working out of Phoenicia.
Joe Marsh worked with Dick Wilhelm and George Peck on the hi-rail dump truck, removing the rear hi-rail assembly for repair.
George Liucci, Al Johnson, Ed Palmatier, Thom Johnson and Tom Healy worked on reorganizing equipment between the trailer and the box car as part of the 702 project.
Al Schoessow and Steve Gollow led a crew consisting of Bob Blake, Chris Bigham, Dave Heick and myself. We cut back brush hitting the train and leaning trees from MP 24.1 to 25.3:

The storage track project progressed today with ten ties fully spiked, 11 ties inserted,and a rail section laid and bolted in place on the north side. Participating were Mark Glaser, Steve Gollow,and John Patane.
Al Schoessow repaired a journal box on the 401 and Walt Otto cleaned up around the yard. Earl Pardini assisted all foremen with their projects.
At West Hurley, Paul Sternitzke, George Cook, Bruce Devorkin, Todd Syska and Neil Remsen installed two new switch timbers at West Hurley (gauge and spike next). They also re-dug out private crossings at MP 6.29 and 6.55, and cleared a washover at MP 13.9 and cut brush.
