Museum Milestones for January, February, and March 2021
Shop Upgrades: The machine shop has been upgrades throughout the last year, and this continued into the new year. The Museum took ownership of a Lodge & Shipley lathe, and disposed of surplus equipment. Also work began to build a loft in which to house an air compressor.
Electrical Distribution Building: The interior of the electrical distribution building was completed, as far as insulation and the interior walls go. Next will be the installation of electrical equipment.
B&SR Boxcar 56: More work on repairing the carbody structure.
Coach 9: The car roof was put on and the floor installed, in addition to other work.
Public Operations: Although still at limited capacity because of Covid-19, winter operations “Steam and Sleighs” to SeaLyon Farms were very popular.
