The Summertime Slow-Down

It has happened. Summer is finally here and with it are new things to be done, extra chores that aren't required during the winter. Mowing the lawn, weeding the flower beds, and other outdoor maintenance tasks are taking time away from model railroad activities. There probably won't be much progress on the BS&T until the fall, but then it will be crafting season. :-(

I may not be posting many updates over the summer except perhaps some operating session reports, since we are still going to be doing that every Sunday evening over the summer.

Speaking of operating sessions, we had our first two man crew on the BS&T last Sunday. Greg and Ken MacQuarrie were the sole crew members. The two wayfreights did everything from yard work to local switching since, apparently, the local switch crews were on strike - or at Tim's. Management even had to chip in to run the transfers and trains to and from "Points East". I think a lot of credit goes to the crew to be able to complete a full session short staffed. Great work guys!

Anyway folks, have a great summer. Catch you later!
