Summary of Work on JTC #311 and Upcoming Work Session

While crews worked this past weekend on car maintenance, that was certainly not the only work being done on our equipment!  Keith Bray was onsite to provide contract support for the ongoing work on Johnstown Traction Company #311 and was assisted by Joel Salomon and Fred Wagner.  The photos below provide a summary of the work completed.

Work in progress is not always beautiful, but this is the sign of progress.  Removal of seats and interior trim enables repairs to be performed on the car's structure.

 

With the side sheeting removed, work progressed on repairs to the lower structural members.

 

Fred cleans the corrosion from lower part of one of the window posts.

Next Work Session: Saturday, December 8

 

Please help keep the progress going by joining us for the next JTC #311 work session on Saturday, December 8.  Work planned for the day includes:

• Cleaning and preservation of underfloor structural members
• Rebuilding of door engines
• Wood work on interior components

Thanksgiving Day is tomorrow.  One of the many things I am thankful for is the dedication and contributions of the volunteers and friends of the Rockhill Trolley Museum.  May you and your families have a very safe, healthy, and happy Thanksgiving!
