This weekend IRM was celebrating Railway Post Office (RPO) Days with our RPO car and retired railway clerks. I didn't take any pictures because our friend and ace photographer Chuck Amstein was there. He has sent me a collection of pictures which I'll post as soon as I have a working computer at home.
The 309 and 319 were running in revenue service again both days. Here on Saturday are the cars, with Dan Buck the 
motorman and Randy Allegrezza the conductor, seen helping passengers off the train. Everything seems to have worked well.

In the woodshop, we have several people helping and watching as the Berlin sander works its magic on a newly-built door. You have to see this machine in operation to appreciate it.
I worked some more on the 36, stripping off more paint. Get ready for a boring series of pictures nearly identical to this one. And I took the defective contactor to the shop for disassembly and cleaning.
In other news, the B&G crew were hard at work on the street project; here we see the material being graded in preparation for new asphalt.
And the track crew was joined by a group from MTM who came out to help. Here they are in the process of regrading South Junction. In the middle, Tom Hunter provides direction. Thanks, guys!
