OK all you crazy folks and naysayers-- Here is the word from PLA in their March "Club Car":
This Month saw the Golden Gate Rail
Museum start getting their equipment
ready for Movement. This is a major job
to say the least. Wasatch Railroad Contractors was hired to
do the air brake and other mechanical
required jobs to get all the cars ready
for the move. Gerry Feeney and crew
helped out by getting our equipment
repositioned in Brightside. With the
completion of the un-decorating of the
TOL, the two TOL storage cars are back
in Niles for storage which helped out for
making room. As Jim Green has found
out in the past when you jack up a car,
most of the time all goes as planned.
But sometime it doesn’t. Jim has found
surprises when doing inspections.
GGRM has found some surprises also.
This comes from owning and running
old equipment. The GGRM inspections
should be completed by the end of
February. They are also getting their
containers ready for movement and
got stuff spread out for sorting. This
also should be able to be completed in
March. They feel if all goes well, they
should be underway by June for their
new home.
