Pete - we plan to move both the forward and rear frames to the north end of bay 2 (where Jerry and Carlos were), crib them up and level them in preparation for installing the fitted bolts that join the forward and rear frames.

Ed -
I had T-Mobile years ago and it wasn’t too good as I recall
I’ve had Verizon for several years now and I can usually find a spot to carry on a conversation nearly any place on the railroad (including the current end of track.
Amazingly enough, I’ve experienced FaceTime conversations at several locations along the railroad as well. Don’t know how that works, but it does.

Thanks for the link Steve. I experienced the same slow download - I think you’re right about their server. I enjoyed the historical write up.
