10/25/03 - Bulldozin'
For the third 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. This week saw
mostly work being done by the museum's 1968 Cat D7E bulldozer
freeing up dirt to be loaded by the front loader and dragline
the following weekend..
Take a look at all the action.
A view of the north end of the R&GV RR Museum's restoration
building. All of the excavation work is taking place on
the hill to the front left of the building.
The D7 gets to work!
Pushing dirt over the bank!
And another blade full...
And another blade full...
View of the north end of the building including the museum's PRR N-5C caboose#477822
which is under heavy restoration.
Sliding along the face of the hill!
Time for a little maintenance check. With grease gun tucked under his arm, the
museum's Master Mechanic, Art Mummery, for whom the dozer is named as he brought
it back to life checks over the tracks to make sure all is well.
The old and the newer. The museum's two Cat D7's are parked next to each other
for lunch. The older Cat has done A LOT of work around the museum and it still
sees use. With its cable blade, it is not as capable as its hydraulic equipped
newer sibling.
