John Ansell receives Operation Lifesaver Presenter of the Year award from Larry Dodd, BNSF Railroad On March 13th ORM members Terry Birchett, Jim Murray, Charles Price and Stan Hall met at the Walker Avenue bridge for a salvage operation. The effort was to save a historic section of the trolley cable guideway that has been under the bridge for about 80 years. This was made possible through the assistance of Dean Shirf with the Retro Metro Oklahoma City Group and Paul Ryckbost, the City of Oklahoma City Planning Department. More about the Retro Metro Oklahoma City Group in future issues. A big thanks to Korey Klover with Allen Contracting for providing an equipment lift for our use and Craig Watters with Sherwood Construction for making access available to us.

The Blue car work is progressing and it will be a big improvement to have it repaired and painted. We are currently doing some repairs to the Diner. Anyone that wants to help on this, see Jim Murray. Outside the grass is growing faster than Jim Pasby can keep up with. If you have some time please give him some help. In the last week or so we have been cleaning up the North property. There is a lot of work to be done there to be able to use the meeting room and house until we can go forward on our long term plans. For those of you who are interested, I would like to get your thoughts as to the best use of the buildings as they are now. Please or write me with your ideas.

3 The trains have started running for the eighth year on the first Saturday in April. It s hard to believe the time has passed so fast, and so much has been accomplished. ORM is truly making its mark on the preservation community around the country as others look at what has been accomplished so quickly. The common response heard when asked, is ORM has a long range plan that continues to be updated. Planning is a key to success in any organization and ORM is a real example of that. With that said, the trains running and a lot of work that needs to be done and now with the rains, the grass will be growing. The museum has been gaining some new volunteers to help in the many areas of service that need to be addressed. It s good to see new volunteers helping and working on the many different projects and helping make a difference at ORM. President Hall now reports the house on the property ORM purchased to the north is now vacant and plans will be considered on to how best to use the facilities in the coming months. The museum will need to use them for museum business to maintain the tax exempt status of the property. Currently the plan for the property has been movement of the museum office into the house and maybe the library and other historic record storage. But this will need to be reviewed more in depth and then a long range plan will need to be developed to cover the future use of the property and tying it into the existing property. In the shop, work continues on the CNW 7721 chair car on repair to the sides. On the other track OKRX 113 is receiving some attention on the HVAC system. Out in the yard, Bob Cossiart is beginning to think about the restoration project on the Rock Island Caboose and I m sure he can use a lot of help. Greg and Stan are still working on the Santa Fe Caboose while the museum has applied for an NRHS Grant to help with the painting of a Box Car back to the original Santa Fe, Route of the Scouts paint. Anne Murray helped put the application together. Museum Update Page 3 Many people do not realize that the museum is a chapter of the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS). We are known as the Central Oklahoma Chapter and John Ansell is our representative who attends many of the meeting throughout the year on behalf of the museum and chapter. It would be good if our membership count could be increased. Of the 175 museum members, only 31 are NRHS members. If we could increase to 50, it would make our chapter better recognized. Someone has said why? First they are the National voice for our work. Second, they by Drake Rice have been working hard to streamline the overall efforts, which have not been easy, but they are beginning to work and make obtaining information and participating in events a lot easier and third they do sponsor some very nice opportunities to enjoy special steam and diesel passenger trains. The contacts are worth the price of the membership. If you re not a member, contact John Ansell and he is always willing to help. ORM members go beyond the normal call of volunteering Photograph taken by Tony Wessel of the car at Flynn yard waiting for movement to New Braunfels ORM members Jim Murray and Guy Lynn donated a considerable amount of time over the course of many weeks to raise additional funds for the ORM. The New Braunfels Historical Railroad & Modelers Society purchased a passenger car from the Guthrie Arts Council. Considerable maintenance was required prior to the car being acceptable for moving. Items of work for preparation of car movement: boarded up 27 windows and/or doors greased wheel bearings installed new air hoses installed 7 new brake shoes adjusted brakes repaired leaking break adjuster applied AEI identifi cation tags switching out break valves Their efforts required several trips to Guthrie with air compressor in tow. A special thanks to Guy and Jim for their tremendous efforts on behalf of the Oklahoma Railway Museum.

[left] temporary support at one end of section to be removed. ORM Director of Mechanial Operations Jim Murray has about any tool that may be needed in his truck. Notice the generator for power tools. The operation began with sawing through the guideway at two locations. With some effort Terry was able to break each nut on several anchor bolts holding the guide rail loose. A temporary support was placed under one end of the guide rail. Anchor bolt nuts were removed in a stratigic sequence allowing the center of the guide way section to be supported by a ladder placed in the bucket. After center support of the guideway was accomplished, the end support was removed and the guideway lowered.
