Jeff hauled in 20 loads today.

First few loads..





End of the day.



I want to relocate the green container and the pine stump, then bring in more gravel.

Edison also got tagged today, and Cody got a lesson on using spray paint with stencils.

The weather will decide what I do. I may add some culverts to the drainage project first, then maybe level the gravel some around the containers. If raining, I will work on the Dozer and Kubota.

* Public trains

Big shout-out to the crews today for stepping in when TWO different crew positions were suddenly vacated. Everyone cooperated (including several "on the ground"). Our ~140 passengers (including the annual Mason's picnic and those who came to "Ride the Rails to Hike the Trails") had a steam train ride thanks to these efforts.
