Remarks & Notes

During the Sweltering heat of the day during the Heritage Festival in Spencer, the intense heat (106F) caused the rails to expand thus not allowing the turntable to successfuly turn. So after staff attempted with a torch to trim the rails, NS MW crew was called in with the cut-off saw to make the cuts smooth and sweet to continue the turning of the tables (No pun intended) The PRR 8102, PC 1073 & Erie 1068 look on. Perhaps whispering the them, Hurry up, it's our turn on the table.
