Trestle Replacement Preperation Continues

   There was only one main project worked on at the Bucksgahuda and Western Railroad on 11/8/14.  The crew accomplished more prep work on the trestle which needs to be done before it can be replace when the weather gets warmer.  The spikes that hold the rail to the ties on the trestle were removed from both rails.  After this was finished, the crew then proceed to remove the actual rail that was on the trestle which will enable the replacement of the trestle to go smoother.  If the weather stays at a decent temperature until next Saturday, then there are more plans for the preperation of the trestle replacement to continue.  If the weather decides to turn horribly cold and windy and icky in general, then the trestle replacement will pick back up in the spring.
