Jackson & Sharp Train Car Reconstruction - March 2013
During March, the clerestory carlines were finished, which involved setting six metal frames sandwiched between twelve carlines and bolted together then bolted to the top plate with the original hardware that was cleaned and repaired.
The apron bows were finished, faired and dove-tailed into the apron signboards. Also, all 48 rafters and 44 carlines were planed fair and straightened with the top plate, end wall and apron bow.
Six hundred board feet of 7/8 inch sheathing was jointed, planed, and milled with tongue and groove. Sixty board feet of 7/8 inch poplar ceiling was shaped and milled for tongue and groove for the apron ceiling. The sheathing was installed on both lower decks and the upper deck.
