Here's a summary and a few shots from the work Wednesday 5-2-2012.

Good progress was made on the exterior soffit amidst lingering April showers.
Installation of the soffit and and remaining wooden brackets on the north side of the depot was completed while the east side was prepared with 2x4 furring strips and nailers for the brackets. Additional beadboard for the soffit was purchased and delivered.
Another milestone was achieved with activation of phone service to the depot.
Guests continue to checkout the new visitor center.
Verne Jackson stopped by and supplied volunteers with samples of his "homegrown" chocolate milk from the Shenandoah Farm.
It hasn't gotten this fresh since the Borden's Creamery left town!

The Rails to Trails conservancy is a national group and they have just posted a note about our depot for their members.

We posted a story for our members on your effort today. Here’s the link.

Be sure to share with your friends and supporters.

As a reminder, I will be giving a talk on our local RR history at the Unionvale Historical Society meeting on Monday 5-7-2012.
The meeting will be at 7:30 at the Tymor Forest Rec area. I hope to see a few of our members there.
