Thursday Gang
 (June 15, 2017)
Must be nice to be retired! The Thursday Gang was out for a
track patrol today. Looks like five cars headed eastbound on the mainline
at Cotton Valley.

Trail News
| (June 5, 2017)
Bruce reports that the bridge is finished. The recent weather has rained out
on starting the Memorial Garden. Bruce and Dave will try for later this week.
Bruce spoke with contractor regarding brush chipping; no problem with holding off
for a couple of weeks until the base of the trail is established. It will be a lot
easier to move the chipper and tractor up the line utilizing the trail opposed
to negotiating the ties. We've had a chance to take a look at what we're dealing
with regarding brush. Not as much, or big as first thought. Mike said that because
of the amount of fill they're digging out of the embankments, they are going to fill
the holes with as much brush as they can, and cover it. Will be a huge help for us.
See everyone this weekend for our Family Picnic Day.

The new bridge timbers are installed, and the rail has been replaced. The
line is now re-opened all the way to the Miss Wakefield Diner. Use caution
over the bridge, as some spikes still need to be driven.

New England Southern
 (May 27, 2017)
We had three trackcars and five members and guests along for a great day on
the rails. This spring NEGS expanded their trackage from Sargent Street
(C17.61) to Silver Lake Road (C21.90). Today's focus was brush trimming along
this section. In the picture, Sam is just finishing turning his Woodings car,
while Hank waits to spin his little M9. Out of the picture to the left, Jon
has already turned his MT-14. After a morning of cutting, the crew headed back
to Tilton, having lunch at the Tilton House of Pizza; across the street from
the former station at C18.38
