DO WE EVER STOP ADDING PROJECTS?

 

The answer is no. Things were pretty well wrapped up in Goodland but then we needed to add some space for the new boilers.

 

Here we have a 14'x40' addition for the new boilers. For those who can't tell which side of the building you're looking at, this is the front (road side), and those aren't windows. They will be 4'x4' vents for the boiler system.

And if you're wondering why we need such a large addition for the new boilers, this is why. To give you a sense of size, these are sitting in the west load bay in the building. The overhead door opening you're looking at is 12' wide.

 

 

Now, back to Stockton

This is the yard truck left behind by the previous site owners. This 1960 something Ford is coming back to Michigan where I'm sure it won't have to much trouble finding a home. I wonder if that was the lumber companies delivery truck. How long have they been out of business?

 

Ron Andrews and Randy Harris made a trip to Stockton to install the liner in the underground trench. This will have a concrete floor  suspended over the top of it (where you see the re-rod) and will be the raceway for our rubber hoses.

 

Here you're seeing a 20'x100' truck load pad capable of containing 5,750 gallons. This gives us the added capability to transload from rail to truck or a third load bay once the site is running at full capacity.

 

The new rail stops are in place and ready to take a bump from a rail car. As you can see from the vegetation in the rail bed, things are just now starting to turn green again in Stockton.

 

This photo was either taken as the photographer was falling down or the camera was turned on a 45 degree angle. It gives you a good idea of what it would be like if the fault line under California finally gave way. Anyway, this is the liner after installation . The re-rod you see will be bent over into the concrete floor.
