HAPPENINGS:
Bidding is proceeding on our engine house and the results will be announced when the dust settles.
The western-most section of C&S track has been temporarily lifted in anticipation of final backfilling of our new retaining wall.
A contractor hired by Conrail has been improving drainage at and adjacent to the museum site. Excavation in progress has left us a glut of dirt fill material which we will stockpile for use later.
