Worked last nite also...then drove up to the "tower" at noon to do some lsst minute renovatins (read: "straighten the building with block & tackle".!!)before the public unveiling on SUNDAY at the Mahoningtown Festival etc... The twr is by no means ready to occupy or be used yet...There is still a lot of lumber to renovate..stairs to the 2nd floor to build..windows to installand of course later on..."paint"..!! but she is standing and will be the center of attraction hopefully when the activities begin on Sunday. We will be running a very short "pssgr train" (the NYG&ELECT CTR CAB..& DOC"s PRR N5-C CABOOSE...) up & down the tracks for a short distance all day... It will be the 1st pssge train of any type over those rails in about 50 yrs..!!.....a PRR CABIN....on PRR tracks.....going by a B&O tower...ya gotta be there.....(I think I will be...if they quit shoving this "OT" down my throat..!!
