🛠️ March 19 Workday

Our Mentors at Work

Mike and Bill carefully reviewed progress on the Roundhouse, and discussed operation of the reailroad at the end of a very productive work day. Bill was explaining that the name “K-36” came from the 10 Mikado engines built for the 3-foot narrow gauge Rio Grande Railroad. One of the bays in the Roundhouse is designed for the K-36.
