Sunday in Riverhead

Hi folks,

I received these shots from Ronnie the other day and just sat down to post them for you all to see.

Our 2nd P72 was moved into the LIRR Riverhead yard for long term storage and we promised the LIRR and Town of Riverhead that we would get all 3 of our cars painted nicely to discourage any new vandalism and to brighten up the area. The other 2 cars were already painted.

Thanks to Don Fischer of RMLI for providing us with the correct Benjamin Moore color mixes.

Top photo is of the south side after scraping and painting.

This photo shows us the north side after scraping and painting.
That is Gerard coming towards the camera.

This is a view of  the west vestibule end. The patches which the LIRR riveted on over the rusted out areas have been removed and new patch panel will be flush welded to repair these ends correctly, not just expediently!

EVERY P72/P75 and the MP versions had this problem area. The crap that was thrown up on these ends kept these sides quite moist.

After this, all that is left is to scrape and paint the roof of this car #2935.

Our crew does an amazing job!

Thank you Ronnie/Gerard/George and anyone else who I might have missed!!
