Lol. Stewart I have found photos get outdated very quickly around the railroad. :)

Wow so sorry I missed the rollout.  Having been involved with some the work, I feel like I missed a family birthday party.

I was sad I missed it too, but no worries, it will be replayed several times over the upcoming weeks/months, each time a little bit more complete than last.

The B&SR did not letter the cars in later years; but since this is an educational project; maybe some sort of lettering could be added to let the visitors know what the car is?

Is the box car in the Car Barn while the new concrete floor is being worked on in the engine house?

Roof is going to be done by the pros. Zack is starting on the ends. Doors are awaiting track to be constructed.

Zack has really done an amazing job on 67.  Very impressive.  I noticed on the North end of 67 there are differences in the hand rails between the top two and the bottom two. 

Why are the two lower hand rails bent in different directions?

Plus there is a center hand rail.  Is this so one can cross over the couplers standing on the end sill buffer blocks? 

Also, could someone take a picture of the lower piece of steel bar that looks like it may be part of an uncoupling lever?

Outstanding work, Zack.
BTW, those end wall standoff steps make dandy vertical handles on big, heavy rolling doors.  :D

Uncoupling, or cut levers have vertical grab handle ends, need to be mounted on a car end bottom so they can rotate and have their opposite right angle ends pull this type coupler's lock pin straight up from the top.
Newer couplers push their locking brackets up from underneath, are not affected by weather as much.
I've yanked a few on the ATSF.
