From rumination to rejuvenation. Members met up yesterday to make progress on both ends of our train.

At the head end, in the exhibit car we've been setting up our layout to more properly fit the car's layout.

At the tail end, our caboose is being prepped for future paint work; besides some small amounts of corrosion the carbody is in good condition.

Between the two ends we hosted a few tours to guests. We are open every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays in Green Cove Springs, from 9:00AM to 2:00PM.

[NEIGHBORS] Nearby to our track is The Military Museum of North Florida, today they had a fun event containing a Chili Contest, Car show, vendors and their well-kept collection of Military vehicles and items.

If you're interested in military history they have a wonderful location inside and out, make a visit.

A couple members were able to visit to explore their show and had much fun.

Although it was an off week for us, we were informed we may have a couple of visitors from the outflow, and as such opened the train to a couple tours.

Other small jobs at the track were continued planning of exhibit car rejuvenation, and diesel generator work.

[A question for You] For those with ideas, what activities that could be done with railcars that you would be interested in? Currently our cars do not move, however they could prove to be useful in many other ways while serving a purpose as an exhibit.

Our track is open today. Not many could make it out today, so we are spending our time planning our route for the Museums future and enjoying the fair weather.

Located in Reynolds industrial park, Green Cove Springs , Fl.. We open for visitors and work every 1st, 3rd, and 5t Saturdays, Typically 9AM to 3PM.

Activity on Track NFRM. 5th Saturdays act as an extra day for us to get work in. While many could not make it to our humble line today, we stuck to first gear and kept crawling.

Kevin began an effort to renew wiring to our exhibit car's HO layout. After having been previously moved to a new area in the car, focus has been placed on the display to return to working condition. So far, all is well as wheels have begun rolling on down this little line!

Unpictured, progress from other volunteers [Jon, Josh, Gavin and Gregory] to tidy up the exhibit car.

Eventually we will make larger strides to renew the exterior of the car, and even more to breathe life into the interior.

Measurements were taken for future stencil work occur on our Southern Caboose, and now Southern 44 tonner.

We will be at the track again next week, September 5th. If you wish to stop by, don't hesitate to contact us, we are open every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturday.

[BEYOND OUR TRACK] - Just over a year ago our affiliate organizations, Florida Adventures in Railroading Inc. and Port Orange Railway Society set out to save FEC #806 Caboose [Lucy], and #3760 Boxcar [Willie]. Both pieces now reside in Depot Park where they await restoration and a new purpose.

However, Lucy and Willie were not alone; In the yard they were accompanied by an old rivet style tank car, heavyweight tool car, and a large steam powered wreck crane #3377. Due to various reasons, they were unable to be saved.

This video posted by FLAIRR, shows the last moments of 3377.

If interested in railroad history, contact your local organization to visit or lend a hand. Through consistent effort we can provide tomorrow with a piece of the past.

the scrapping of Florida East Coast Railway steam wrecker 3377.

The heat is on.

When we want clouds, we get rain; when we want a sunny day, we get intense heat.

Two things are true, Florida summer is hot, and we have work to do.

Todays work session had our volunteers continuing projects previously started.

Prepping the Southern caboose's exterior for fresh paint, new window sealing and trim. Due to corrosion, needle scaling was required in several places, noisy but fun work. The remainder was power-brushed off. As it stands the exterior, and interior are in good condition to begin with.

Our new sign got some much-needed touchup work. Storage and installation led to blemishes needing fixed.

Other tasks performed at our track today:
•Removing tools and trash from the Sleeper Car, from previous work sessions
•Sorting scrap metal, a drive by many volunteers that generates some funds
•Repair work to a generator unit used to power tools. We now have mains-power; however it is a good suitable backup.
•Showing multiple visitors, the interior and exterior of our collections

Located in Green Cove Springs, we are open to visitors and volunteers every 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturday of the month.
[Our website indicates we are closed; we will be working to update our site with more improved information]

[BEYOND OUR TRACK]

This weekend is an off week at our track; however there is active preservation work happening at all times, in many places.

Our affiliate organizations, Florida Adventures in Railroading Inc., and Port Orange Railway Society were busy today with the creation of something new.

In an effort to preserve items of railroad history, you need space to house those items.

Here is the beginning of their new engine house. Currently it is being used to store two antique depot benches being preserved, one for use in the Port Orange Depot.

In the future, the containers will be shifted, a roof installed between the two, and a steam locomotive will be restored under that roof.

Working together, with many small but consistent steps, you can make something big.

If you have interest in railroad preservation, whether it's a question to ask, or a hand to lend, contact your local organization.

On the other end of the train, work continues on our Southern Bay-Window caboose, also being prepped for paint renewal, as well as future window and door seal work.

Other tasks are re-organizing our exhibit car, and general property upkeep. Including some new signage.

This past weekend brought to us many visitors, of which we had the pleasure of touring our equipment.

It can be easy to forget why these pieces exist to begin with; it was people that had a need or job to complete. It was people through business that utilized this equipment for commerce or travel. It will be people that preserve this equipment.

Pictured are volunteers applying some much-needed paint to our 44-Ton locomotive, and some visitors we had inside the cab.

We are open every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays, next day is the 30th. To visit or volunteer, bring yourself and your people to our track in Green Cove Springs, FL - Reynolds Industrial Park.
