April 11 Workday

Bruce replaces thread bare wooden ties with new plastic ties

Bruce lead the effort to replace 100’. At the end of the day the upgraded track had been ballasted and was back in working order. We used all the tools at our disposal:

  • Pre-drilled ties

  • Ties populated with 4 screws

  • No tie plates

  • Bill’s new gauging jigs

  • Utilizing Bruce’s experience from the previous Rabbit Flat experiments
