Panoramic progress!
The R&GVRRM's Track Department has been busy working on the ballasting and leveling of the new siding west of the LA&L. Here is a panoramic image of the siding with the R&GVRRM's ex-New York Central Pullman PS-4 flatcar #506102 sitting over a freshly ballasted portion of the siding that extends to the left and right of the image. To the right, the siding will be extended further south toward the R&GVRRM. To the left, the already installed siding still needs to be ballasted and leveled.
To continue to make more progress on the ballasting, tamping and leveling, we still need your help by making a donation toward out Donate-A-Ton fundraiser. Please consider donating $20 which allows the museum to buy a ton of stone or consider donating the money for several tons. To date, 50 of the 300 tons of ballast we need has been donated so far! Thanks to all who have donated.
Information on how to donate online or via the mail can be found here on the Museum's Support page of the R&GVRRM's website.

More progress on the west siding.
On Saturday, June 12, 2010, the Construction Department of the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum did some more work around the new siding the museum has been building west of the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad. On this day, the job was to consolidate two large dirt piles into one. To do this, the museum's restored Cat D7E dozer got the call along with a little help from the museum's Case backhoe. Here are a bunch of images of the equipment working and of the siding under construction especially those areas which still need to be ballasted, leveled and tamped.
