In the first work session in February the temporary floor in the car and raised platform on the north side were finished and stairs at the east end of the car were built and installed.
Work continued on the temporary floor in the car.
Screws were placed into the 2x4's.
The interior was cleaned of sawdust and scraps.
The raised platform along the south side of the car is complete.
The platform on the north side is almost done, and will be complete by the end of the work session.
This is a view looking out one of the side baggage doors showing the outside raised platform. The framing for the .platform at the doors is different from the other parts of the car.
Rolling scaffolds were assembled for both sides.
Light fixtures that were added to the car after it was built were removed.
Dean is installing the stairs on the East end.
The next series of photos were taken of the upper part of the car as seen from the side platforms. A lot of work remains to be accomplished! Click on the photos to enlarge.
