2008 Work Sessions: Work Sessions will take place at the Riverhead Yard. Every member is invited to participate, have fun and lets get some work done with your fellow members. No special requirements are needed, just the desire to help make a difference.
Save these dates, official work sessions are as follows : April 26, May 30, June 28, July 26, September 28 and October 25.
Work sessions will take place rain or shine.
In addition to the listed work session dates, we will meet on an as needed basis, usually on a weekday evening during the summer.
Please note that it is a goal to complete C-60 by mid summer and start work on our Jordan Spreader, as soon as possible.

2007 Work Sessions
During 2007 work was focused around doing the small touchup work on C-60. This included painting the steps, handrails, grab irons and getting it ready for lettering. On one occasion VIP Member Doug Diamond
made the trip out from Brooklyn to lend a hand on C-60.

April 2006 Flatcar Work Session
Paul Strubeck is caught here working on our Flat Car MTA 110. The Flatcar is a former AT&SF bulkhead flatcar. We plan to bring here back to a Sante Fe livery in the near future.
According to the AT&SF Historical Society, they were surprised to find the car made it to the east coast. The car is a rare car, that was made
longer then it was when it was built. We are proud to be the guardian of this historic flat car.
