July 1 – Detroit Locomotive Works LLC on location

Volunteers Marty Rosalik, Tom McBride, Barb Falkenhagen and Jeff Brearley arrived today. A key project is working on the 1867 lantern room…. As Marty says “The shop has a view.”

 

Detroit Locomotive Works built our lantern room and those of many other lights.

 

The firm went bankrupt years ago. Marty has resurrected the name.

This is a complicated project…on their first afternoon, they’ve already removed a number of the Astragal glass stop screws….complications include this broken screw.

This doesn’t happen by magic…it requires lots of knowledge and equipment.
