Time to work

Museum volunteer Dan Waterstraat has the controls of the museum's Cat 225 grader has he works to complete the grading for the first phase of LA&L siding. This is the smallest of the three graders the museum rosters as part of its historic construction equipment collection. Having a fleet of construction equipment and volunteers trained to operate them helps speed along our many excavation and grading projects, reducing the need for outside contractors.
