Larry, as I posted earlier, the B&O may open in the summer. Current condition: <br />-Main roof completely removed and rebuilding complete (Except for final placement of slate tile, this was the one that had the panels collapse) <br />-The problem that caused the collapse was a missing type of beam, and they forund the two smaller rooves are missing them as well, so now they have to replace those <br />-They are going to construct a new repair facility where you can watch them repair and maintain their trains (it would give them less need to send cars to strasburg for asbestos and lead removal <br />-they have found the original paint colors for the roundhouse (While removing the lead paint from the walls) and will repaint the wals those colors (Black & white) <br />-So far, they have only restored caboose #c.2222, all other damaged rolling stock is still in the roundhouse <br />-They will insall more handicapp accassability measures before opening <br /> <br />I have been keeping up with the museum from the updates (with pictures) they place on their site [url]www.borail.org/home.asp[/url]. But they have said they hope to be open by at least next fall, if not sooner. Just thought Id clear that up.[2c][:-^]
