Some photos of tree clearing on the Mountain Extension today, in chronological order. Single fire set to burn the slash today.
Mike Fox drops a small tree in this view looking south up the grade toward the current end of track and Top of Mountain.

View looking north, with Trout Brook Bridge in the background. Fred Morse and James Patten look after the fire.

Mike has just dropped two medium-sized pines in this view looking south. Pictured are most of today's tree clearing crew: Mike; Fred; James; Kevin Propst; and Stewart Rhine. Leon Weeks joined us shortly after. Mike dropped the trees, and Fred helped Mike cut up the fallen trees, while the rest of our crew stacked logs and put slash on the fire.

A view from Trout Brook Bridge looking south toward the burn pile. Next Saturday's work will include dropping the large pine on the left.

Looking south at the recent cutting work that cleared the work area needed to make east-side ditch repairs this summer.

Turning 180 degrees to look north, today's work area, with Trout Brook Bridge in the distance.

Kevin, Mike, Leon, Fred and James take short break from the day's work.
