May 25, 2024 All Club work day

Perfecting the tie replacement work flow


We will have our first big push to replace aging ties to build a railroad for the future. We’ve been experimenting for months to figure out the tools and agree upon the most efficient process. We are now ready to bring a big team together to replace 300’ of ties in a single day.

We’ll be starting at 8:15 with a quick orientation. Yep, that is early but, you want to get ‘er done before the sun starts to blast.

All other track will be open for running during the work day. A local car club will be visiting on the same day and you’ll be able to admire their beautifully restored cars.

If you are planning to join or, have any questions please let Bob Silverstein know so we can effectively plan our work day.

What to bring:

  • Knee pads or a pad to rest your knees on

  • Drill motors

  • Work gloves

  • Spare drill motor batteries

  • Sun protection

  • Hats

  • Lunch

This is the section of Mountain Division track we will be working on.

For those who prefer the new schematic maps, here is where we will be working.

This is the pay scale we’ll be working off:)
