One step closer to operation! - 6/29/24 |
Railroaders will recognize the significance of this photo. A “blue flag” is a railroad safety concept and practice. An ARRC crew connected the rails and new switch to the main last Friday at MP 148.5. They have the switch locked out, but this new safety measure is being followed now that 557s stub is part of a spur connected to the ARR main. The yellow piece on the track is a derail, a second level of safety designed to derail any rail equipment that attempts to move past the blue flag. One step closer! We welcome your financial support of Engine 557 via credit or debit card or Paypal.
