Hey all,
Just wanted to let you guys know that due to my current work schedule at work, I plan on being at the museum for the Spring work weekend. I look foward to it.
Track work at Conway Scenic is a little different from that of the narrow gauge, aside from the machines that we have. At first I thought a neumatic air hammer was the greatest thing in the world, however, it won't work on every tie. Some ties are to hard, so the air hammer just bounces off the spike, so then we have to finish them off by hand. All in all, a spike maul is also a lot lighter to carry than an air hammer.
I was dissapointed to miss the fall work weekend, due to my work schedule, but hey, such is life.
Talk to you guys later.
Joe
Ps. When do you guys start working on Fridays for the work weekend?
