10/18/03 - Working the Construction Fleet
For the second weekend in a row, the Rochester & Genesee
Valley Railroad Museum continued its excavation north of
its Restoration Building to bring the ground in front of
the building to the level of the building. Unlike Week #1
where the museum had the donated use of a hydraulic excavator,
this day the museum used only equipment from its own Historic
Construction Equipment collection.
Take a look at all the action.
The R&GV Railroad Museum's Bay City Model 65 dragline goes to work moving
dirt.
Fully loaded.
Dumping the first load from the dragline.
And another load...
Filling the truck up!
Museum Construction Superintendent, Joe Scanlon, runs the Bay City 65 dragline.
Moving to the next spot.

Pumping up a tire on the museum's tractor pan.
Fill 'er up! Museum volunteers, John McDonald(left) and Dave Luca(right) help
pump diesel fuel into the Cat D-8 tractor.
Museum volunteer, Jeremy Tuke, checks the fuel level on the D-8.
The Cat D-8 and its tractor pan take its first pass of the day.
The results from the pan.
The museum's Cat D7 waits for the pan to return to give it a push with the museum's
yard crane working in the back moving rail parts out of the way of the excavation.
