Yesterday- Dan, new volunteer Ben and I replaced the head blocks on the SS South Switch, and reinstalled and readjusted the stand.
Today, Dan and I ballasted 60’, tamped about 100’ of main which was 1” out of level, retamped a slight out of level in front of the new platform, dressed the new ballast after tamping, and blew fire-hazard pine needles away from the main.
Big thanks to Dan for prioritizing this in support of the platform reopening, which should be soon (based on Brendan’s schedule).
