Main line subroadbed completed!

On Saturday, November 9, at 3:03 p.m, Chief Engineer and alumni advisor E.J. Ryder drove in the last screw to join together the main line subroadbed at High Falls, completing the route from end to end! A crew consisting of Nick, Corey, James, and Otto completed the plywood subroadbed supports and began to lay cork to support the track. Elliot, Jimmy, and David S. worked on track in Niagara Falls. Charles and Matt Glazer started enforcing the wiring plan. Phil Tifone stopped by and offered assistance building a wooden cabinet to hold our power boosters and provide a place to mount auto-reverser components. A very busy day indeed! See more photos on our Facebook page.

Don't forget, our 2013 Tiger Tracks Train Show is only a month away! You won't want to miss Rochester's largest train show, held on campus at the RIT Gordon Field House on December 14-15. Please visit our web site for details.

Our next meeting will take place Tuesday, November 12, at 7:00 p.m. in Room A420 in the basement level of the Student Union. Come down and join us!

Work session this weekend

Subroadbed construction continues its march around the peninsula headed for High Falls. We will have several crews working this weekend. One group will work on subroadbed, another will work on completing track in Niagara Falls, another group will work on wiring and circuits, and yet another will be doing research on scenery and dioramas. It's going to be a busy day! Want to join us? We usually get started Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. in Room A420 in the basement level of the Student Union.

Syracuse Train Show, no work session this weekend
