I've not been workin on the railroad

This season has been flying by. The engineering department has been hard at work thinking up new projects, like the turntable. But, work has been at a standstill on track construction.
It was fanally determined by the track department that construction will resume this fall with a new push to the west and south, through the yard and storage areas, and that some work must be accomplished on storage leads and car barns. Mostly, we will be happy with a doubling of the route and some minor realignment of the existing trackage.
In the meanwhile, development is ongoing on a handcar, a locomotive (perhaps two) and more riding cars. These are winter projects, so will follow track construction. Stay tuned.
