Casey the Bulldozer - Official Work Thread
Jason M Lamontagne:
A major point in this acquisition is that we can control the manner in which the right of way down the mountain is restored. It's a beautiful stretch and its existence is a testament to the people (and horses) who built it by hand (hoof). As a two-foot gauge hand built right of way carved along the side of a steep valley wall, it has a decidedly different look than it would have had it been built with modern equipment.
See ya

Paul Uhland:
Congrats on finding this WW&F-sized dozer, just right for track sub-grading, ROW extensions and road-building.
And somebody built it a safety cage/sun shade/rain roof.
Don't forget to stencil "WW&F Rwy" on it. I'm big on branding everything with the company ID, cuz ya never know when any advertising just might get noticed.
Yes Ira, it needs a name.
Mike Fox:
Don't worry about the name just yet, I was on the Case before we bought it. ;D
Dwight Winkley:
what year was the Case built?
Win Nowell:
You know, when I ride up the line, I look all the stumps and roughness along the ROW and think how much neater and cleaner it could be made and how much easier it would be to maintain but then it would lose its character. As the stumps rot away they could be kicked out but let's keep the rough ROW I am sure it was pretty rough in its original state. That is what adds to its allure!
