Salida
KentS finished the benchwork on West Salida, mounting the extended surface, cutting down the fascia on the Arkansas River and replacing fascia.

TomG installed the waer spout by digging out some ballast and setting the foundation down to tie level. Previously, the foundation was too high and getting snagged by some engines.
  

Extras:

• TomG tested out Westside K-36 (to be #483) for KentS at Monarch switchback.
    
• Setting up trains on staging for test runs is the next step for getting back to Operating Sessions.
