Today was mostly some cleaning and straightening, nothing too exciting. So not too many pictures. I spent a couple of hours in my storage container, and picked out most of the rest of the good window shades. I believe it's much better to store spare CA&E window shades hanging vertically, rather than rolled up on a shelf.
A control pipe hose on the 309 was badly worn, so I replaced it with one from storage. I then put the three-car train together in preparation for July 3rd and 4th. July 3rd, of course, will be the re-enactment of the abandonment, and the 4th will be the parade. Don't miss it!

And then there was more stripping paint on the 36. Progress is slow but steady.
Work on the street project is continuing. Here Max has finished inspecting one of the new manholes for the electrical system. Some day we'll have working antique stoplights at this intersection!
And this is the 1024 (née 24), our oldest rapid transit car, built in 1898. Keep this car in mind, I may have occasion to refer to it later.
