Progress Report 08.17.10

After the removal of Foreman Timmy from the property, crews were able to get back to work.  An orbital sander was brought into clean up the glue/cork residue from the subroadbed removal the previous night.  The orbital sander worked great creating a smooth surface for crews to work.  Management inspected the yard ladder which was installed last night.  All passed inspection.  Cork roadbed was laid for the five yard tracks and rail was laid for three of the five.  Davenport Yard is beginning to really take shape.  Crews are hoping to finish the yard soon before heading up to Blue Island.  The crews will return at a later date to complete the locomotive servicing facility.
