Dates:6/8/1991 - 6/8/1991
Album Info:Formerly owned and operated by Alcoa Aluminum this outfit used to be a railfans dream come true, they loved us and let us have the run of the place regularly. All they required was a phone call prior to your visit. They did all of their own maintenance and on this occasion they were setting up to install a blower in 3731. They quickly found the didn't have enough clearance inside the shed and had to use the backhoe to pull her out to do the work in th open air with a crane.
