The funds to pay for the removal of the fallen trees were approved last month at an RTC meeting. $100,000 was approved to remove all the fallen trees on the branch line. The tree service company invited me to visit the work site and take photos. I spent several hours with them. I have actually been out with the manager before with the SC&MB crew at Harkins Slough back in 2014. Here is a link to a photo I posted covering that tree removal.

If I have time I will put together a photo essay.
