A new dedicated archive room is being built in the basement of the Percival house. The new room will be insulated, have a double layer of sheet rock for fire resistance, and seperate climate control.

The old Sheepscot shelter was shipped to Top of the Mountain this afternoon.

Using the big forklift to lower the shelter down further on the flatcar. The shelter was left 8 inches higher on the car the day we craned the shelter onto the car to pull the lifting beams out from underneath.



Moving the cars from the end of the mainline into the yard to assemble the train.



Stopped before Brook Crossing to check the track level in the curve.



Coming through Sutters.



Cockeye curve.



Alna Center







Top of the Mountain















The station will sit just about where the open car is on the main.

Great progress on the roof as well as the start on the shingles above the door openings.  Will there be shingles on the faces of the posts, or will they be left bare?  I ask, only because I see some tarpaper overhanging the front face of the west corner post.

The posts get covered with trim boards. The middle two posts have trim on them at the top.
