August 26 Workday — Portola Valley and Alpine Railroad

August 26 Workday

Bruce delivered load after load of ballast to the caboose route

Each of the double tracked sections needs to ballasted twice. Bill & Bruce are now super efficient but it still takes about one work day to ballast one track. The club engine will remain stranded on the new section of track until ballasting is finished.
