FUN & GAMES WITH THE SHAY

Plans were to have a big 3-day public steamup of the Shay over the Fourth of July weekend, and so it's been busy, busy getting the Shay tuned up to run and the #11 cleaned up for display. Unfortunately, though, negotiations with the Santa Fe to use their parking lot didn't go through soon enough, and so the public steamup was cancelled. Hopefully, we'll get things ironed out for a Labor Day public operation. In the meantime, we're settling for a members-only operation on the 5th and 6th.

Work parties were held on June 7, 14 and 22, and were well attended. Work accomplished included replacing the broken staybolt in the Shay's boiler, cleaning out its oil and water tanks, repairing the leaky turret valves, adding some more locks and tamper proofing, and a lot of beautiful cleanup and painting on both lokies.

The hard workers included Bill Adam, Jack Barich, Charles Benbow, Bob DiGiorgio, Terry Durkin, Dale Guidry, John Hathaway, Dave Hobson, Chalmers Kerr, Karen Lindquist, Dave Parkinson, Dick Pennick, Eric Sanders and Jerry Windle. We hope we didn't overlook any, but there were so many it was hard to keep track of all. Thanks to every one. (R. R. D.)


SAN YSIDRO DEPOT TO GO

The San Diego & Arizona Eastern's freight depot at San Ysidro will soon be demolished, according to Traffic Manager K. D. Frye. The railroad's office there has already been moved into a metal warehouse. When asked about the possibility of acquiring the depot for the Museum, Mr. Frye indicated that it was in too poor a condition to be moved, "that only the termites are holding the walls together."
