Sadly, this will be his last day at Glencoe for a while, as he is going to the hospital for an operation next week. Good luck Jim. We worked on another flatcar truck. We found a better way to put the springs in. yay !!!!!!! Mike came by for a while, and gave a hand where needed, the same for my son. We have three cars done, four more to do. GRUMPY

Hank Welch, Mike Lorance and Rich Owings went out to East Mohan and cut up a large tree that had fallen across both tracks...also cut down 3 other trees that were dead and that had been damaged by the first tree that fell. We went to the Wye and worked with the guard rail on west switch and tried to take some of the sharpness out of the curve we put in on the extension.

The WF&P will have two tables and the Caboose at the train show in Collinsville, IL on Saturday and Sunday, March 15-16. This is always a good time to talk with the public and invite then out to ride. If you can help either day please call Jim Greathouse at 314-977-3568 during the week day.

We will also have the Caboose at the Eureka Transportation Day on Saturday morning, April 19, from 9-11. We will not be selling anything just handing out brochures.
