Building a Retaining Wall at the BCWRR
April 16, 2005


The SMVRHM crew gets to work....


Digging back the bank was the first order of business.


Then placing the holes.


The gravel train heads for the gravel pit.


Loading at the gravel pit.



A crew of Santa Maria Valley Railway Historical Museum guys turned out at the Bitter Creek Western Railroad today to work on a project of Karl's choosing: build a retaining wall along the tracks by the BBQ/picnic area. The SMVRHM is more than happy to help out the BCWRR which in turns helps out the SMVRHM by allowing it to hold its Choo Chew Saturday fundraising event at the BCWRR each year. We didn't quite get done today...
