Well another few weeks have gone by at the GMRC and much has happened.  We have approved several new members into the group. The upper level tracking is now spreading from the north side to the south side.  We have a few incomplete spaced around Pichacho yard, Chandler/Kyrene and Magma/Superior.  We also are making some adjustments in the Prescott, Wickenberg and Glendale areas to increase Operations opportunities and make the layout more interesting.

The engine maintenance facility is nearing completion and all tracks have been laid up to the turntable.  Now we are working on completing the buildings and start to landscape the area.  The Picacho bridge is being built and will allow trains to turn around from the south end of Picacho yard.

2011 also brought some additional organizaitonal changes.  The Officers now meet monthly to discusss key issues for the club.  Monthly train running nights have been set for the 3rd Tuesday of the month and details are underway to prepare the layout and club for full Operaions sessions.  While Operaitons sessions may not start for another few months, inventory, car cards and waybills are in development.  Once track is laid and local industries are identified, final details for Operations will begin.  We anticipate this to happen in early summer.

Keep 'em rollin'.
