More progress on ex-RG&E #1941 - Timelapse

Since our last post, much more progress has been made on the repainting of ex-Rochester Gas & Electric GE 45-tonner #1941.   The engine and most of the Brewster Green parts are complete as seen below in both the image and timelapse videos.   Next up will be masking the green to allow the yellow to be painted.  

#1941 sits in the shop in its final coat of Brewster green and after all of the masking was removed.

 Timelapse video of #1941 being pulled out and finish painting started.

Please stay tuned for more updates soon as we work hard to have #1941 out of the shop and operating for Diesel Day!

Panoramic progress on our passenger car siding!

 

Panoramic progress! Our R&GVRRM Track Crew was again working on the extension of our passenger car siding on Tuesday evening, August 2, 2011. With the east rail set and spiked, work was well underway to continue to gauge and spike the west rail. In this panoramic image (the tracks are actually straight!), you can see the siding extension in the middle, the mainline of the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad under that, and then our museum mainline under that to the left and right. Once the track is completely spiked, it will be ballasted, leveled and tamped.  Panoramic image by: C.R. Hauf 8.02.2011
