LJ had to work late so Mike went solo and assembled the L-girder bench work for the TwentyMile district. Most of the old train tables are disassembled and ready to be harvested for lumber. LJ would return later in the week to finish disassembling of the old train tables.

John used the shop vac and vacuum cleaner to pick up all those pesky wood shavings. He shared he had purchased three Alaska Railroad covered hoppers and an Alaska Railroad Suburban from former Alaska resident Steve Katkus.

February 22, 2018: A very exciting evening indeed! LJ and Mike begin assembling the L-girder bench work for the Alaska Pacific University (APU) district. LJ's dog Zeus provides some much needed additional supervision.

John shared Steve Booth from Soldotna, Alaska sent a scenery care package consisting of Woodland Scenics products such as turf, grass, ballast, water, plaster cloth, rock molds and six bears. Thanks so much Steve!
