Crews Keep Pushing Forward

At the CRI&P, progress is key as crews keep pushing forward toward the goal of operating.  Reviewing our To Do list from three weeks ago:

Next projects on the agenda:

- Solder feeders to the bus wire - No work completed in this dept - track laying has been priority
- Install turnout at the wye at East Bureau (split for ovalix and Peoria Branch) - Complete
- Install cork roadbed for entire ovalix - Complete
- Design and potentially lay cork for Davenport - Partially Complete (Designed, but not fully laid)
- Design and cut subroadbed for remainder of the upper level - Complete
- Order more Micro Engineering Code 55 Track, one Tortoise switch machine, an additional (#7) LH curved turnout for the wye at the Peoria Branch/East Bureau - Partially Complete (no Tortoise ordered yet)
- Sell 86' Auto Parts Box Cars & Open Auto Racks - Complete
- Purchase N&W Coal Hoppers - Changed, but Complete - Ordered SP/RI 70 Ton Coal Hoppers

I guess we need to set some more goals!  :-)

Albeit progress has seemed slow to me, looking back over the timeline we have progressed at a great clip!  It is amazing what can be accomplished doing a little each evening!
