Thanks to my Friend Patrick

the small hills of Denver.. |
|
The Cumbres & Toltec's new Tamper was fired
up and ready to roll this morning. |
|
It will head out today, monday the 16th for crew
training. |
|
Work on the track begins again today, all the
machines will be out on the line. |
|
The New Tamper is rolling out of the yard... |
|
Its a great looking machine, today they were
making a few adjustments on it!! |
|
Diesel 19 is getting some more work done..
the trucks have been completely rebuilt! |
|
The next step will be the Generators
re-installation. |
|
The New Tamper rolls out onto the main for
the first time.... |
|
Toby walks by the tamper stopped on the main. |
|
The guys are running the machine thru checks and
making adjustments. |
|
Its impressive looking, I tell you what!!!! |
|
Here are two views of the Tamper. |
|
Check out the upper light for leveling and the
lower for right to left adjustments. |
|
Max is taking a break and we are preparing
to paint a car... |
|
The Antonito Car is being painted into the new
scheme... The red and black is done and now we will work on the
silver coating... |
|
Now there is a difference in the silver coatings
on the cars.. the Chama based cars have silver paint and the
Antonito based cars have a coating to help seal the roof. It is a
coating that goes on a Bold Gold color then turns silver.. |
|
Another car is done.. |
|
Hey those beautiful Generators rebuilt by
Rocky Mountain Electric motors are looking great! |
|
They have been installed back into Diesel 19. |
|
The wiring is being re-installed and the
generators have been bolted back into place. |
|
The motors are being worked on, but they have not
arrived yet... |
|
Also some of the motor mounts have been removed as
the new motor will not need them! |
|
Its Wednesday and the "Antonito" car is done
and ready for service... |
|
Thursday and the car has been rolled out of the
shop and sits in the Antonito sun. |
|
I am very, very happy with this car, I think it
came out great. |
|
Now there are two cars fully lettered and ready
for service. The rest of the cars will be lettered later. |
|
Its 4:30 and the setting sun lights the Antonito
Car beautifully... we hope all you friends and guests enjoy our work
this summer. |
|
Here is a drawing of what the new Diesel 19
motors will look like! |
